Drives

Famous quotes containing the word drives:

    Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    The one prudence in life is concentration; the one evil is dissipation: and it makes no difference whether our dissipations are coarse or fine; property and its cares, friends and a social habit, or politics, or music, or feasting. Everything is good which takes away one plaything and delusion more, and drives us home to add one stroke of faithful work.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Such joint ownership creates a place where mothers can “father” and fathers can “mother.” It does not encourage mothers and fathers to compete with one another for “first- place parent.” Such competition is not especially good for marriage and furthermore drives kids nuts.
    Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
