Optional Meet

Famous quotes containing the words optional and/or meet:

“Our father presents an optional set of rhythms and responses for us to connect to. As a second home base, he makes it safer to roam. With him as an ally—a love—it is safer, too, to show that we’re mad when we’re mad at our mother. We can hate and not be abandoned, hate and still love.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)

“For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about and finding out one’s acquaintance, that, really, one has no time to mind the stage.... One merely comes to meet one’s friends, and shew that one’s alive.”
—Fanny Burney (1752–1840)
