Famous quotes containing the word edelman:

    “It is [children] who are God’s presence, promise and hope for mankind.”
    —Marian Wright Edelman (late 20th–century)

    “I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.”
    —Hope Edelman (20th century)

    “You must put fear out of your mind. Confront it with the belief that the past is over with, that a new life lies ahead.”
    —Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Dr. Edelman (Onslow Stevens)
