Famous quotes containing the words operating and/or design:
“Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do it—and do it well. The truth is, effective parenting requires study and practice like any other skilled profession. Who would even consider turning an untrained surgeon loose in an operating room? Yet we “operate” on our children every day.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
“What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
