Age Specific Mortality

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or specific:

“What an age experiences as evil is usually an untimely reverberation echoing what was previously experienced as good—the atavism of an older ideal.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Most parents aren’t even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance. Thus, even when one child comes out on top in a comparison she is left feeling uneasy about the tenuousness of her position and the possibility of faring less well in the next comparison.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
