Twelve Islands

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or islands:

“Life with a daughter of nine through twelve is a special experience for parents, particularly mothers. In a daughter’s looks, actions, attitudes, passions, loves, and hates, in her fears and her foibles, a mother will see herself at the same age. You are far enough away to have some perspective on what your daughter is going through. Still, you are close enough, if reminded, to feel it all again.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)

“we are so many
and many within themselves
travel to far islands but no one
asks for their story....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
