Child Heap

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or heap:

    Compared to other parents, remarried parents seem more desirous of their child’s approval, more alert to the child’s emotional state, and more sensitive in their parent-child relations. Perhaps this is the result of heightened empathy for the child’s suffering, perhaps it is a guilt reaction; in either case, it gives the child a potent weapon—the power to disrupt the new household and come between parent and the new spouse.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    A heap of epithets is poor praise: the praise lies in the facts, and in the way of telling them.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
