Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or research:

    “They say he is already in the forest of Arden, and a many
    merry men with him; and there they live like the old Robin
    Hood of England.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
    —Ron Taffel (20th century)
