Famous quotes containing the words eleven, basic and/or expectations:

    “The town is silent. The night boils with eleven stars.
    Oh starry starry night! This is how
    I want to die.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “When you realize how hard it is to know the truth about yourself, you understand that even the most exhaustive and well-meaning autobiography, determined to tell the truth, represents, at best, a guess. There have been times in my life when I felt incredibly happy. Life was full. I seemed productive. Then I thought,”Am I really happy or am I merely masking a deep depression with frantic activity?” If I don’t know such basic things about myself, who does?”
    —Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)

    “Our children do not want models of perfection, neither do they want us to be buddies, friends, or confidants who never rise above their own levels of maturity and experience. We need to walk that middle ground between perfection and peerage, between intense meddling and apathy—the middle ground where our values, standards, and expectations can be shared with our children.”
    —Neil Kurshan (20th century)
