True Statement

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or statement:

    Then you arrived, meditative, ironic,
    richly human; and your presence was shore where I rested
    released from the hoodoo of that dance, where I spoke
    with my true voice again.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
