Aware

Famous quotes containing the word aware:

    “The child knows only that he engages in play because it is enjoyable. He isn’t aware of his need to play—a need which has its source in the pressure of unsolved problems. Nor does he know that his pleasure in playing comes from a deep sense of well-being that is the direct result of feeling in control of things, in contrast to the rest of his life, which is managed by his parents or other adults.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    “I really don’t think this war will end soon. We are completely aware of the difficulties, no food or fuel, the danger, but we want to be stronger than all that. With each child, we are fighting back with our love of life.”
    —Tina Bajraktarebic (b. 1965)
