Quote

By the time we are five years old or so…we seem to understand the mind in much the way we will twenty or thirty years later. We understand thoughts and beliefs as well as we understand perceptions, emotions, desires, and feelings.…Even very young children, children who haven’t yet learned to read or add two and two, have learned profound truths about their own mind and the minds of others.
