Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Healthy parenting is nothing if not a process of empowerment. As we help to raise our children’s self-esteem, we also increase their personal power. When we encourage them to be confident, self-reliant, self-directed, and responsible individuals, we are giving them power.
    Louise Hart (20th century)

    The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
