Celtic Way - Distance

Famous quotes containing the word distance:

“We have been told over and over about the importance of bonding to our children. Rarely do we hear about the skill of letting go, or, as one parent said, “that we raise our children to leave us.” Early childhood, as our kids gain skills and eagerly want some distance from us, is a time to build a kind of adult-child balance which permits both of us room.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion (20th century)

“You say I’m small? I certainly can relate, although it is a matter of perspective. The distance is deceptive, my friend, you stand too low.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“From a distance the rushing of the torrent delights and uplifts us, but it rocks us in a flimsy boat, we are overwhelmed by despair. The same applies to danger.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
