Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or guidance:

    “Self-esteem and self-contempt have specific odors; they can be smelled.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)
