Famous quotes containing the words people who, people, grew and/or homes:

    There are people who believe everything is sane and sensible that is done with a solemn face.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Nothing is so threatening to conventional values as a man who does not want to work or does not want to work at a challenging job, and most people are disturbed if a man in a well- paying job indicates ambivalence or dislike toward it.
    Alice S. Rossi (b. 1922)

    I grew up confidently expecting to have a profession and earn my own living, and also confidently expecting to be married and have children. It was fifty-fifty with me. I was just as passionately determined to have children as I was to have a career. And my mother was the triumphant answer to all doubts as to the success of this double role. From my earliest memory she had more than half supported the family and yet she was supremely a mother.
    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    Over the water come
    Children from homes and children’s parks
    Who speak on a finger and thumb,
    And the masked, headless boy.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
