Famous quotes containing the words jane adams, jane and/or adams:

    If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain.

    —Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. Jane Martin (Aneta Corseaut)

    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
