Famous quotes containing the words robert and/or napier:

    “Of the wheel as it rolls unrelentingly over
    A cow plodding through car-traffic on a street in Iasi,
    And over the haunts of Robert Pinsky’s mother and father
    And wife and children and his sweet self”
    —Robert Pinsky (b. 1940)

    “Parenting is a profoundly reciprocal process: we, the shapers of our children’s lives, are also being shaped. As we struggle to be parents, we are forced to encounter ourselves; and if we are willing to look at what is happening between us and our children, we may learn how we came to be who we are.”
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
