Famous quotes containing the words periodic and/or events:
“It can be demonstrated that the child’s contact with the real world is strengthened by his periodic excursions into fantasy. It becomes easier to tolerate the frustrations of the real world and to accede to the demands of reality if one can restore himself at intervals in a world where the deepest wishes can achieve imaginary gratification.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
