Close Relationship

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or relationship:

    Disclose thy Sun beames; close thy wings, and stay;
    See, see, how I am blind, and dead, and stray,
    O thou, that art my Light, my Life, my Way.
    Francis Quarles (1592–1644)

    When any relationship is characterized by difference, particularly a disparity in power, there remains a tendency to model it on the parent-child-relationship. Even protectiveness and benevolence toward the poor, toward minorities, and especially toward women have involved equating them with children.
    Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)
