Flash Marker

Famous quotes containing the words flash and/or marker:

“We cannot know how much we learn
From those who never will return,
Until a flash of unforeseen
Remembrance falls on what has been.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

“Personal change, growth, development, identity formation—these tasks that once were thought to belong to childhood and adolescence alone now are recognized as part of adult life as well. Gone is the belief that adulthood is, or ought to be, a time of internal peace and comfort, that growing pains belong only to the young; gone the belief that these are marker events—a job, a mate, a child—through which we will pass into a life of relative ease.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
