Famous quotes containing the word allowed:
“We’ve forgotten what it’s like not to be able to reach the light switch. We’ve forgotten a lot of the monsters that seemed to live in our room at night.

Children, though, can never have grown-up feelings until they’ve been allowed to do the growing.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Among us, what is not allowed to women is equally not allowed to men.”
—Jerome (c. 340–420)
