Greek Foreign

Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or foreign:

“It is an elegant refinement that God learned Greek when he wanted to become a writer—and that he did not learn it better.”

“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
