Guide Stars

Famous quotes containing the words guide and/or stars:

    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)

    And yet with neither love nor hate,
    Those stars like some snow-white
    Minerva’s snow-white marble eyes
    Without the gift of sight.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
