Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or parents:

“You are now
In London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow
At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore
Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more.
Yet in its depth what treasures!”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“Adolescents sometimes say...”My friends listen to me, but my parents only hear me talk.” Often they are right. Familiarity breeds inattention.”
