Receive Slight Damage

Famous quotes containing the words receive, slight and/or damage:

    His word
    is withdrawn,
    hieratic,
    authentic,
    a king’s,
    yet all may receive it.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Now view yourself as I was, on the spot—
    With a slight kind of engine. Do you see?
    Like this . . . You wouldn’t hang me? I thought not.”
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The relationship between mother and professional has not been a partnership in which both work together on behalf of the child, in which the expert helps the mother achieve her own goals for her child. Instead, professionals often behave as if they alone are advocates for the child; as if they are the guardians of the child’s needs; as if the mother left to her own devices will surely damage the child and only the professional can rescue him.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
