Famous quotes containing the words called and/or updike:
“I think that parents ought to get some idea of how the so- called experts have changed their advice over the decades, so that they wont take them deadly seriously, and so that if the parent has the strong feeling, I dont like this advice, the parent wont feel compelled to follow it. . . . So dont worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.”
—Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
