Line Reaches

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or reaches:

    The parent must not give in to his desire to try to create the child he would like to have, but rather help the child to develop—in his own good time—to the fullest, into what he wishes to be and can be, in line with his natural endowment and as the consequence of his unique life in history.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “O father! O father! now, now, keep your hold,
    The Erl-King has seized me—his grasp is so cold!

    Sore trembled the father; he spurr’d thro’ the wild,
    Clasping close to his bosom his shuddering child;
    He reaches his dwelling in doubt and in dread,
    But, clasp’d to his bosom, the infant was dead.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1799–1832)
