Famous quotes containing the word models:

    “Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
    —Judith Viorst (20th century)

    “Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “... your problem is your role models were models.”
    —Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
