Confusion of Personalities

- His daughter Elizabeth
- Elizabeth Hatton, née Cecil, (d. 1646)
- Christopher Hatton (d. 1619)
- His wife Alice, née Fanshawe
- Their son, Christopher Hatton (1605-1670)

Famous quotes containing the words confusion of and/or confusion:
“The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions can’t. An adult can put controls on a child’s behavior—at least part of the time—but how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behavior—if he’s grown up—but how does he order what he feels?”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem—in my opinion—to characterize our age.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
