Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or guidance:

    “Most parents aren’t even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance. Thus, even when one child comes out on top in a comparison she is left feeling uneasy about the tenuousness of her position and the possibility of faring less well in the next comparison.”
    —Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)

    “The rest, called literature, is a dossier of human imbecility for the guidance of future professors.”
    —Tristan Tzara (1896–1963)
