Famous quotes containing the words transparency and/or issues:
“Life is filigree work.... What is written clearly is not worth much, it’s the transparency that counts.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
“The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
