Famous quotes containing the words arrest, suspicion and/or accepting:

    The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.

    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    One important reason to stay calm is that calm parents hear more. Low-key, accepting parents are the ones whose children keep talking.
    Mary Pipher (20th century)
