Famous quotes containing the words shared and/or environment:
“We were that generation called silent, but we were silent neither, as some thought, because we shared the periods official optimism nor, as others thought, because we feared its official repression. We were silent because the exhilaration of social action seemed to many of us just one more way of escaping the personal, of masking for a while that dread of the meaningless which was mans fate.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)
“Maturity involves being honest and true to oneself, making decisions based on a conscious internal process, assuming responsibility for ones decisions, having healthy relationships with others and developing ones own true gifts. It involves thinking about ones environment and deciding what one will and wont accept.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
