Famous quotes containing the words weights and/or measures:

    “What do you believe in?—In this, that the weights of all things must be determined anew.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “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)
