Push Pull

Famous quotes containing the words push and/or pull:

    Many parents worry that they will reinforce a fear by being overly sympathetic. It helps to know that when children are permitted to avoid an animal or an object that frightens them, they tend to overcome a fear sooner than if parents push them to confront it.
    Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

    the pull of gravity, which is not simple
    which carries the feathered grass a long way down the upbreathing
    air.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
