Famous quotes containing the words clare and/or briggs:

    I never saw so sweet a face
    As that I stood before:
    My heart has left its dwelling-place
    And can return no more.
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    The opposite of love is not hate, as many believe, but rather indifference. Nothing communicates disinterest more clearly than distancing. A child cannot feel valued by parents who are forever absorbed in their own affairs.
    —Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
