Famous quotes containing the word peers:

    “The poet will write for his peers alone. He will remember only that he saw truth and beauty from his position, and expect the time when a vision as broad shall overlook the same field as freely.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.”
    —Mary Pipher (20th century)

    “He could not have been tried by a jury of his peers, because his peers did not exist.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
