Famous quotes containing the words abnormal and/or darker:
“We urgently need a debate about the best ways of supporting families in modern America, without blinders that prevent us from seeing the full extent of dependence and interdependence in American life. As long as we pretend that only poor or abnormal families need outside assistance, we will shortchange poor families, overcompensate rich ones, and fail to come up with effective policies for helping families in the middle.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
“It is darker in the woods, even in common nights, than most suppose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
