Famous quotes containing the words point and/or calvinism:
“Parents are led to believe that they must be consistent, that is, always respond to the same issue the same way. Consistency is good up to a point but your child also needs to understand context and subtlety . . . much of adult life is governed by context: what is appropriate in one setting is not appropriate in another; the way something is said may be more important than what is said. . . .”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
“Indifference to all the refinements of life—it’s really shocking. Just Calvinism, that’s all. Calvinism without the excuse of Calvin’s theology.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
