Act Allowed

Famous quotes containing the words act and/or allowed:

“Adolescents may be, almost simultaneously, overconfident and riddled with fear. They are afraid of their overpowering feelings, of losing control, of helplessness, of failure. Sometimes they act bold, to counteract their imperious yearnings to remain children. They are impulsive, impetuous, moody, disagreeable, overdemanding, underappreciative. If you don’t understand them, remember, they don’t understand themselves most of the time.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)

“Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.”
—Barbra Streisand (b. 1942)
