Left Ideal

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or ideal:

    What’s left to sigh for,
    Strange night has come;
    God’s love has hidden him
    Out of all harm,
    Pleasure has made him
    Weak as a worm.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The ideal of men and women sharing equally in parenting and working is a vision still. What would it be like if women and men were less different from each other, if our worlds were not so foreign? A male friend who shares daily parenting told me that he knows at his very core what his wife’s loving for their daughter feels like, and that this knowing creates a stronger bond between them.
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 6 (1978)
