Famous quotes containing the words russell and/or hochschild:

    The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.
    —Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
