Deaf Parents

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or parents:

“I will be deaf to pleading and excuses.
Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Rearing three children is like growing a cactus, a gardenia, and a tubful of impatiens. Each needs varying amounts of water, sunlight and pruning. Were I to be absolutely fair, I would have to treat each child as if he or she were absolutely identical to the other siblings, and there would be no profit for anyone in that.”
—Phyllis Theroux, U.S. journalist. “On Being Fair,” Night Lights: Bedtime Stories for Parents in the Dark, Penguin (1987)
