Guide Mark

Famous quotes containing the words guide and/or mark:

“In the continual enterprise of trying to guide appropriately, renegotiate with, listen to and just generally coexist with our teenage children, we ourselves are changed. We learn even more clearly what our base-line virtues are. We listen to our teenagers and change our minds about some things, stretching our own limits. We learn our own capacity for flexibility, firmness and endurance.”
—Jean Jacobs Speizer. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Collective, ch. 4 (1978)

“Only a still place
and perhaps some outer horror
some hideousness to stamp beauty,
a mark no changing it now
on our hearts.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
