Famous quotes containing the word connection:
“Parents have railed against shelters near schools, but no one has made any connection between the crazed consumerism of our kids and their elders cold unconcern toward others. Maybe the homeless are not the only ones who need to spend time in these places to thaw out.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
