Laurel/people

Famous quotes containing the words laurel and/or people:

“The graceful flowers of innocence are more valuable than the laurel crown of fame.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“Most people agree that men have trouble showing hurt, jealousy, and fear but even mothers, whose wider emotional range is often taken for granted, also seem more comfortable with anger than these other “unparentlike” feelings. This is probably because several generations of mothers have now been twelve-step-programmed and pop-psychologized enough to believe that expressing hurt, fear, anxiety, or dependence will create pathological guilt in their kids.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
