Deaf Parents

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or parents:

“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“No one, however powerful and successful, can function as an adult if his parents are not satisfied with him.”
