Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or memories:
“Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“It seems to me that I have always existed and that I possess memories that date back to the Pharaohs.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
