Famous quotes containing the words adult and/or form:
“Because the young child feels with such intensity, he experiences sorrows that seem inconsolable and losses that feel unbearable. A precious toy gets broken or a good-bye cannot be endured. When this happens, words like “sad” or “disappointed” seem a travesty because they cannot possibly capture the enormity of the child’s loss. He needs a loving adult presence to support him in his pain but he does not want to be talked out of it.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“You may try but you can never imagine what it is to have a man’s form of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
