Alter Ability

Famous quotes containing the words alter and/or ability:

    I think we ought to be able to alter the whole system—but not by bullying, not because one lot wants what the other has got.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Parents’ ability to survive a child’s unabating needs, wants, and demands...varies enormously. Some people can give and give....Whether children are good or bad, brilliant or just about normal, enormously popular or born loners, they keep their cool and say just the right thing at all times...even when they are miserable themselves, inexhaustible springs of emotional energy, reserved just for children, keep flowing unabated.
    Stella Chess (20th century)
