Rejects

Famous quotes containing the word rejects:

“The adolescent does not develop her identity and individuality by moving outside her family. She is not triggered by some magic unconscious dynamic whereby she rejects her family in favour of her peers or of a larger society.... She continues to develop in relation to her parents. Her mother continues to have more influence over her than either her father or her friends.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)

“Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.”
