Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or conflicts:

    “The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.”
    —Robert Motherwell (1915–1991)

    “They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
