Famous quotes containing the word parents:
“There is one thing you and I as parents cannot do, not do we want to do if we really think about it, and that’s control our children’s will—that spirit that lets them be themselves apart from you and me. They are not ours to possess, control, manipulate, or even to make mind.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“Children rarely want to know who their parents were before they were parents, and when age finally stirs their curiosity, there is no parent left to tell them.”
—Russell Baker (20th century)
“We use our parents like recurring dreams, to be entered into when needed.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
