Possessive Case

Famous quotes containing the words possessive and/or case:

“The narcissistic, the domineering, the possessive woman can succeed in being a “loving” mother as long as the child is small. Only the really loving woman, the woman who is happier in giving than in taking, who is firmly rooted in her own existence, can be a loving mother when the child is in the process of separation.”
—Erich Fromm (20th century)

“In the case of scandal, as in that of robbery, the receiver is always thought as bad as the thief.”
