Close Relationship

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or relationship:

    No barber shaves so close but another finds his work.
    English proverb, collected in George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs (1640)

    Our mother gives us our earliest lessons in love—and its partner, hate. Our father—our “second other”Melaborates on them. Offering us an alternative to the mother-baby relationship . . . presenting a masculine model which can supplement and contrast with the feminine. And providing us with further and perhaps quite different meanings of lovable and loving and being loved.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)
