Famous quotes containing the words involvement in, involvement, shakespeare and/or productions:

    I recommend limiting one’s involvement in other people’s lives to a pleasantly scant minimum. This may seem too stoical a position in these madly passionate times, but madly passionate people rarely make good on their madly passionate promises.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    Many people now believe that if fathers are more involved in raising children than they were, children and sons in particular will learn that men can be warm and supportive of others as well as be high achievers. Thus, fathers’ involvement may be beneficial not because it will help support traditional male roles, but because it will help break them down.
    Joseph H. Pleck (20th century)

    Peace puts forth her olive everywhere.
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
