Raise Beck

Famous quotes containing the words raise and/or beck:

“The child who would be an adult must forgive the parents for all the ways they didn’t raise him or her just right, whether their errors were in loving too much or too little. All parents, as parents of adults, do deflating things that make you feel like a child. If you have children, you’ll do those things too and eventually laugh about them.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“In front of that sinner of a husband,
she rattled off
only those words
that her pack of vile-tongued girlfriends
taught her
as fast as she could,
and after,
began to behave
at the Love-god’s beck and call.
It’s indescribable,
this natural, charming
path of love,
paved with the gems
of inexperience.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
