Involved

Famous quotes containing the word involved:

    Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

    Tommy: You’re gonna have trouble with that one.
    Milo: Oh no I’m not. He’s just not housebroken yet, that’s all.
    Tommy: When are you going to stop getting yourself involved with young itinerant artists? It never works. If they’re no good, you’re ashamed. And if they are, they get independent.
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)

    Many people now believe that if fathers are more involved in raising children than they were, children and sons in particular will learn that men can be warm and supportive of others as well as be high achievers. Thus, fathers’ involvement may be beneficial not because it will help support traditional male roles, but because it will help break them down.
    Joseph H. Pleck (20th century)
