Famous quotes containing the word inflicted:
“You and your spouse should consider the arguments you have, not as calamities in the history of your child’s development, but as opportunities for learning.

“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival.

—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
