Famous quotes containing the words spiders and/or swimming:
“A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false values—whether presented on television or in “real life.” The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some “high” to feel worthwhile.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
