Primary Exhaust Rocker

Famous quotes containing the words primary, exhaust and/or rocker:

“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

“Fear can supplant our real problems only to the extent—unwilling either to assimilate or to exhaust it—we perpetuate it within ourselves like a temptation and enthrone it at the very heart of our solitude.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

“I want a place where I can sit back in the rocker and say, “Do you remember when we picketed the White House in 1965?””
—Barbara Gittings (b. 1932)
