Adopted Daughter

Famous quotes containing the words adopted and/or daughter:

“Although all new ideas are born in France, they are not readily adopted there. It seems that they must first commence to prosper in a foreign country.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

“Insults from an adolescent daughter are more painful, because they are seen as coming not from a child who lashes out impulsively, who has moments of intense anger and of negative feelings which are not integrated into that large body of responses, impressions and emotions we call ‘our feelings for someone,’ but instead they are coming from someone who is seen to know what she does.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
