Barry Miller Kaye

Famous quotes containing the words barry and/or miller:

    But whether on the scaffold high,
    Or in the battle’s van,
    The fittest place where man can die
    Is where he dies for man.
    —Michael J. Barry (1817–1889)

    Almost everywhere we find . . . the use of various coercive measures, to rid ourselves as quickly as possible of the child within us—i.e., the weak, helpless, dependent creature—in order to become an independent competent adult deserving of respect. When we reencounter this creature in our children, we persecute it with the same measures once used in ourselves.
    —Alice Miller (20th century)
