Faced

Famous quotes containing the word faced:

    There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you’re faced with somebody whose needs won’t be put off.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    In an extensive reading of recent books by psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and inspirationalists, I have discovered that they all suffer from one or more of these expression-complexes: italicizing, capitalizing, exclamation-pointing, multiple-interrogating, and itemizing. These are all forms of what the psychos themselves would call, if they faced their condition frankly, Rhetorical-Over-Compensation.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.
    Gail Sheehy (b. 1937)
