Exaggerated

Famous quotes containing the word exaggerated:

“Every age develops its own peculiar forms of pathology, which express in exaggerated form its underlying character structure.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

“Important as fathers are, their influence on children shouldn’t be exaggerated just because they were ignored so long. There is no evidence that there is something especially good about fathers as caretakers. There are no areas where it can be said that fathers must do certain things in order to achieve certain outcomes in children. The same goes for mothers.”
—Michael Lamb (late–20th century)

“The shadows of things are greater than themselves; and the more exaggerated the shadow, the more unlike the substance.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
