Tied

Famous quotes containing the word tied:

    While each child is born with his or her own distinct genetic potential for physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, the possibilities for reaching that potential remain tied to early life experiences and the parent-child relationship within the family.

    We are more tied to our faults than to our virtues.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    I tied down time with a rope
    but it came back.
    Then
    I put my head in a death bowl
    and my eyes shut up like clams.
    They didn’t come back.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
