Lifting Tasks

Famous quotes containing the words lifting and/or tasks:

“Thales claimed that everything was water. He also put wine into water to sterilize it. Did he really believe he was putting water into water to sterilize it? Parmenides, like most Greeks, knew that wine was not water. But while lifting a glass of wine to his lips, he denied that motion was possible. Did he really believe that the glass was not moving when he lifted it?”
—Avrum Stroll (b. 1921)

“A father who will pursue infant care tasks with ease and proficiency is simply a father who has never been led to believe he couldn’t.”
