Central Parts

Famous quotes containing the words central and/or parts:

    Friends serve central functions for children that parents do not, and they play a critical role in shaping children’s social skills and their sense of identity. . . . The difference between a child with close friendships and a child who wants to make friends but is unable to can be the difference between a child who is happy and a child who is distressed in one large area of life.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)

    It’s wonderful how I jog
    on four-honed-down ivory toes
    my massive buttocks slipping
    like oiled parts with each light step.
    Philip Levine (b. 1928)
