Length Specific

Famous quotes containing the words length and/or specific:

“Oft have I mused, but now at length I find,
Why those that die, men say they do depart.”

“Most parents aren’t even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance. Thus, even when one child comes out on top in a comparison she is left feeling uneasy about the tenuousness of her position and the possibility of faring less well in the next comparison.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
