Famous quotes containing the words relationship with, relationship, frank and/or zappa:

    Henry David Thoreau, who never earned much of a living or sustained a relationship with any woman that wasn’t brotherly—who lived mostly under his parents’ roof ... who advocated one day’s work and six days “off” as the weekly round and was considered a bit of a fool in his hometown ... is probably the American writer who tells us best how to live comfortably with our most constant companion, ourselves.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    The average Ph.D. thesis is nothing but a transference of bones from one graveyard to another.
    —J. Frank Dobie (1888–1964)

    Most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read.
    —Frank Zappa (1940–1994)
