“Compared to other parents, remarried parents seem more desirous of their childs approval, more alert to the childs emotional state, and more sensitive in their parent-child relations. Perhaps this is the result of heightened empathy for the childs suffering, perhaps it is a guilt reaction; in either case, it gives the child a potent weaponthe power to disrupt the new household and come between parent and the new spouse.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“I know everybodys income and what everybody earns,
And I carefully compare it with the income-tax returns;”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“We all agree nowby we I mean intelligent people under sixtythat a work of art is like a rose. A rose is not beautiful because it is like something else. Neither is a work of art. Roses and works of art are beautiful in themselves. Unluckily, the matter does not end there: a rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above, and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.”
—Clive Bell (18811962)
