Famous quotes containing the word connection:

“The connection between our knowledge and the abyss of being is still real, and the explication must be not less magnificent.”

“Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people’s crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translate into concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

“We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.”
