Famous quotes containing the words current and/or routes:

    “But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)
