Famous quotes containing the words open and/or system:

“Parents offer an open womb. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can kiss it, and make it well when their grown children need to regress and repair. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can catch you when you start to fall. When you are in disgrace, defeat, and despair, home may be the safest place to hide.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
