Famous quotes containing the word behavior:

    “No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual’s individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only. Whatever its symbol—cross or crescent or whatever—that symbol is man’s reminder of his duty inside the human race.”
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    “The inability to control our children’s behavior feels the same as not being able to control it in ourselves. And the fact is that primitive behavior in children does unleash primitive behavior in mothers. That’s what frightens mothers most. For young children, even when out of control, do not have the power to destroy their mothers, but mothers who are out of control feel that they may destroy their children.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    “The civilizing process has increased the distance between behavior and the impulse life of the animal body.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
