Famous quotes containing the word price:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“If you know some other way that I can be honest with you, you gotta tell me.”
—Richard Price (b. 1949)
“I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
