Complete Independence

Famous quotes containing the words complete and/or independence:

“We place no particular value upon the possession of a virtue until we detect its complete absence in our adversary.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.”
