Famous quotes containing the words awful and/or truth:
“Some parents were awful back then and are awful still. The process of raising you didnt turn them into grown-ups. Parents who were clearly imperfect can be helpful to you. As you were trying to grow up despite their fumbling efforts, you had to develop skills and tolerances other kids missed out on. Some of the strongest people I know grew up taking care of inept, invalid, or psychotic parentsbut they know the parents werent normal, healthy, or whole.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“For want of me the worlds course will not fail:
When all its work is done, the lie shall rot;
The truth is great, and shall prevail,
When none cares whether it prevail or not.”
—Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (18231896)
