Conflict Diamonds

Famous quotes containing the words conflict and/or diamonds:

    Often, when there is a conflict between parent and child, at its very hub is an expectation that the child should be acting differently. Sometimes these expectations run counter what is known about children’s growth. They stem from remembering oneself, but usually at a slightly older age.
    Ellen Galinsky (20th century)

    Shuffled between caring and disgrace
    I took up all our closet space.
    What luxury we first checked into,
    to growl like lawyers until I threw
    my diamonds and cash upon the floor.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
