Famous quotes containing the words performance and/or history:

    “Having an identity at work separate from an identity at home means that the work role can help absorb some of the emotional shock of domestic distress. Even a mediocre performance at the office can help a person repair self-esteem damaged in domestic battles.”
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

    “When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.”
