Famous quotes containing the words closest and/or models:
“Writing books is the closest men ever come to childbearing.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
