Famous quotes containing the words acceptance and, acceptance, commitment and/or therapy:
“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhood—the one their mothers embodied. . . . Anything done “for the sake of the children” justified, even ennobled the mother’s role. Motherhood was tantamount to martyrdom during that unique era when children were gods. Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunned—the ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“I greet thy love,
Not with vain thanks, but with acceptance bounteous.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We now recognize that abuse and neglect may be as frequent in nuclear families as love, protection, and commitment are in nonnuclear families.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
