Famous quotes containing the words point, space and/or groups:

    “I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
    And from that full meridian of my glory
    I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
    Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
    And no man see me more.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The limerick packs laughs anatomical
    Into space that is quite economical,
    But the good ones I’ve seen
    So seldom are clean
    And the clean ones so seldom are comical.”
    —Anonymous.

    “Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
    —Zick Rubin (20th century)
