Famous quotes containing the word severe:
“It’s unthinkable not to love—you’d have a severe nervous breakdown. Or you’d have to be Philip Larkin.”

“I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains.”

“Above and beyond paying attention to feelings before and after a separation, never threaten your child with leaving or loss of love in an effort to control her behavior. Children believe their parents’ assertions that “I will send you away,” “I won’t love you any more,” “I’ll go away,” and are terrified with good reason. Fear is a very poor way of disciplining a child, and it can cause severe lifelong anxiety.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
