Famous quotes containing the words children and/or elements:
“All parents occasionally have ambivalent feelings toward their children. We love our kids, but there are times when we dont really like them, or at least we cant stand what our children are doing. But most of us keep those feelings to ourselves, as if its dirty little secret. It doesnt fit in with our images of what we should do and feel as parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.”
—Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and madam. Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)
