Famous quotes containing the word research:

    “I did my research and decided I just had to live it.”
    —Karina O’Malley, U.S. sociologist and educator. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A5 (September 16, 1992)

    “Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together....

    —Bettina Arndt (20th century)

    “Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you.

    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
