Deaf Community

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or community:

    The sky calls
    To the deaf earth. The proverbial disarray
    Of morning corrects itself as you stand up.
    You are wearing a text.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
