Famous quotes containing the words olsen and/or brothers:
“... like a woman made frigid, I had to learn response, to trust this possibility for fruition that had not been before.”
—Tillie Olsen (b. 1912)
“When we choose to be parents, we accept another human being as part of ourselves, and a large part of our emotional selves will stay with that person as long as we live. From that time on, there will be another person on this earth whose orbit around us will affect us as surely as the moon affects the tides, and affect us in some ways more deeply than anyone else can. Our children are extensions of ourselves in ways our parents are not, nor our brothers and sisters, nor our spouses.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
