Famous quotes containing the words includes and/or intimacy:
“The older womans love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lovers eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grassblade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldnt have missed it for the world.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Parenting can be established as a time-share job, but mothers are less good switching off their parent identity and turning to something else. Many women envy the fathers ability to set clear boundaries between home and work, between being an on-duty and an off-duty parent.... Women work very hard to maintain a closeness to their child. Fathers value intimacy with a child, but often do not know how to work to maintain it.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
