Bigger

Famous quotes containing the word bigger:

    The shape of a rat?
    It’s bigger than that.
    It’s less than a leg
    And more than a nose,
    Just under the water
    It usually goes.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.
    Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    No matter how much you feed a wolf, an elephant still has bigger balls.
    Russian popular saying, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
