Cultural Portal

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or portal:

“If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

“Little scavenger away,
touch not the door,
beat not the portal down.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
