Famous quotes containing the words health and/or care:

    “To safeguard one’s health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness indeed.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)
