Flood/control

Famous quotes containing the words flood and/or control:

    The flood subsides, and the body, like a worn sea-shell
    emerges strange and lovely.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    To try to control a nine-month-old’s clinginess by forcing him away is a mistake, because it counteracts a normal part of the child’s development. To think that the child is clinging to you because he is spoiled is nonsense. Clinginess is not a discipline issue, at least not in the sense of correcting a wrongdoing.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)
