Famous quotes containing the words roles and, roles, original and/or cast:

    “A concern with parenting...must direct attention beyond behavior. This is because parenting is not simply a set of behaviors, but participation in an interpersonal, diffuse, affective relationship. Parenting is an eminently psychological role in a way that many other roles and activities are not.”
    —Nancy Chodorow (20th century)

    “Modern women are squeezed between the devil and the deep blue sea, and there are no lifeboats out there in the form of public policies designed to help these women combine their roles as mothers and as workers.”
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    “The most original authors of today are original not because they create something new but because they are capable of saying such things as if they had never been said before.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.”
