Showing Hand

Famous quotes containing the words showing and/or hand:

    Most people agree that men have trouble showing hurt, jealousy, and fear but even mothers, whose wider emotional range is often taken for granted, also seem more comfortable with anger than these other “unparentlike” feelings. This is probably because several generations of mothers have now been twelve-step-programmed and pop-psychologized enough to believe that expressing hurt, fear, anxiety, or dependence will create pathological guilt in their kids.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    Pride and humiliation hand in hand
    Walked with them through the world where’er they went;
    Trampled and beaten were they as the sand,
    And yet unshaken as the continent.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
