Famous quotes containing the words child, moll and/or davis:

    Good guilt is a product of love and responsibility. It is a natural, positive instinct that parents and good child care providers have. If bad guilt is a monster, good guilt is a friendly fairy godmother, yakking away in your head to keep you alert to the needs of your baby.
    Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    Come round me, little childer;
    There, don’t fling stones at me
    Because I mutter as I go;
    But pity Moll Magee.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Men insist that they don’t mind women succeeding so long as they retain their “femininity”. Yet the qualities that men consider “feminine”Mtimidity, submissiveness, obedience, silliness, and self-debasement—are the very qualities best guaranteed to assure the defeat of even the most gifted aspirant.
    —Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
