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)

    The child hand raised to reach the holding hand. Hold the old holding hand. Hold and be held.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
