Deaf Parents

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or parents:

“I have loved her all my youth,
But now old, as you see;
Love likes not the falling fruit
From the withered tree.
Know that love is a careless child
And forgets promise past;
He is blind, he is deaf when he list
And in faith never fast.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

“Adolescents sometimes say...”My friends listen to me, but my parents only hear me talk.” Often they are right. Familiarity breeds inattention.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
