Lewis P. Lipsitt

Famous quotes containing the words lewis and/or lipsitt:

    Nearing again the legendary isle
    Where sirens sang and mariners were skinned,
    We wonder now what was there to beguile
    That such stout fellows left their bones behind.
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    Can we not teach children, even as we protect them from victimization, that for them to become victimizers constitutes the greatest peril of all, specifically the sacrifice—physical or psychological—of the well-being of other people? And that destroying the life or safety of other people, through teasing, bullying, hitting or otherwise, “putting them down,” is as destructive to themselves as to their victims.
    —Lewis P. Lipsitt (20th century)
