Famous quotes containing the words relationship with, relationship, anthony and/or eden:

    Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.
    Mary Pipher (20th century)

    Mary Pipher (20th century)

    ... women of the North, I ask you to rise up with earnest, honest purpose, and go forward in the way of right, fearlessly, as independent human beings, responsible to God alone for the discharge of every duty, for the faithful use of every gift, the good Father has given you. Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world will say, whether you are in your place or out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, do your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    For sometimes it is shown to me in dreams
    The Eden that all wish to recreate
    Out of their living, from their favourite times;
    The miraculous play where all their dead take part,
    Once more articulate....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
