Famous quotes containing the words drive and/or phase:
“Certainly, words can be as abusive as any blow. . . . When a three-year-old yells, Youre so stupid! What a dummy! it doesnt carry the same weight as when a mother yells those words to a child. . . . Even if you dont physically abuse young children, you can still drive them nuts with your words.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“I had let preadolescence creep up on me without paying much attentionand I seriously underestimated this insidious phase of child development. You hear about it, but youre not a true believer until it jumps out at you in the shape of your own, until recently quite companionable child.”
—Susan Ferraro (20th century)
