Famous quotes containing the words high, profile and/or crime:

    “Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
    —Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)

    “Expecting rain, the profile of a day
    Wears its soul like a hat....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “The penalty may be removed, the crime is eternal.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
