Famous quotes containing the words school and/or talented:
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honour as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
