Conditional Sentences

Famous quotes containing the words conditional and/or sentences:

“Conditional love is love that is turned off and on....Some parents only show their love after a child has done something that pleases them. “I love you, honey, for cleaning your room!” Children who think they need to earn love become people pleasers, or perfectionists. Those who are raised on conditional love never really feel loved.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)

“Truth is simply a compliment paid to sentences seen to be paying their way.”
—Richard Rorty (b. 1931)
