Famous quotes containing the words common and/or models:
“It is a common accident for men camping in the woods to be killed by a falling tree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
