Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or events:
“We have been told over and over about the importance of bonding to our children. Rarely do we hear about the skill of letting go, or, as one parent said, “that we raise our children to leave us.” Early childhood, as our kids gain skills and eagerly want some distance from us, is a time to build a kind of adult-child balance which permits both of us room.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion (20th century)
“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
