Famous quotes containing the words life and/or acting:
“What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?”
—William Henry Davies (1871–1940)
“Often, when there is a conflict between parent and child, at its very hub is an expectation that the child should be acting differently. Sometimes these expectations run counter what is known about children’s growth. They stem from remembering oneself, but usually at a slightly older age.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
