Captain Leach

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or leach:

    I am not what is called a civilized man, professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me. Therefore I do not obey its laws.

    True spoiling is nothing to do with what a child owns or with amount of attention he gets. he can have the major part of your income, living space and attention and not be spoiled, or he can have very little and be spoiled. It is not what he gets that is at issue. It is how and why he gets it. Spoiling is to do with the family balance of power.
    —Penelope Leach (20th century)
