Deaf Parents

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or parents:

    and the deaf soul
    struggles, strains forward, to lip-read what it needs:
    and something is said, quickly,
    in words of cloud-shadows moving and
    the unmoving turn of the road, something
    not quite caught ...
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The end product of child raising is not only the child but the parents, who get to go through each stage of human development from the other side, and get to relive the experiences that shaped them, and get to rethink everything their parents taught them. The get, in effect, to reraise themselves and become their own person.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)
