Famous quotes containing the word closer:
“If you expect complete honesty, you’ll be disappointed. And don’t expect gratitude for your parenting efforts. Do expect that you’ll feel like you’re on a yo-yo—intimate with your child one day, distant the next. As long as she’s safe, don’t invade her world. Remember: most teens end up being closer to their parents after adolescence than they were before.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“You and I have two bodies, aye, very different sorts of bodies, but we’re closer than if we were in the same skin. For I saved that skin o’ yours once, and you’ll not forget it.”
—Philip MacDonald, and Robert Wise. Gray (Boris Karloff)
