Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or listening:

“Such sacred Treasures are the Limbs of Boys
In which a Soul doth dwell:”

“The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.”
