Famous quotes containing the words human and/or interactions:
“We are as great as our belief in human liberty—no greater. And our belief in human liberty is only ours when it is larger than ourselves.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
“In child rearing it would unquestionably be easier if a child were to do something because we say so. The authoritarian method does expedite things, but it does not produce independent functioning. If a child has not mastered the underlying principles of human interactions and merely conforms out of coercion or conditioning, he has no tools to use, no resources to apply in the next situation that confronts him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
