Famous quotes containing the words cookie and/or monster:
“Living by basic good-mothering guidelines enables a mom to blend the responsibilities of parenthood with its joys; to know when to stand her ground and when to be flexible; and to absorb the lessons of the parenting gurus while also trusting her inner voice when it reasons that another cookie isn’t worth fighting over, or that her child won’t suffer irreparable trauma if, once in a while, Mom puts her own needs first.”
—Sue Woodman (20th century)
“The monster is never just there where we think he is. What is truly monstrous is our cowardice and sloth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
