Special

Famous quotes containing the word special:

    If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works, with all the misconceptions, the omissions, the failures that any finished work of art implies.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
    now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is
    all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When a mother quarrels with a daughter, she has a double dose of unhappiness—hers from the conflict, and empathy with her daughter’s from the conflict with her. Throughout her life a mother retains this special need to maintain a good relationship with her daughter.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
