Strong Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or defeated:

“The toddler’s wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The child’s love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parent’s most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)

“The poet is he who fights on the passionate
Side and whoever loses he wins; when he
Is defeated it is hard to say who wins....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
