Earlier Conan

Famous quotes containing the words earlier and/or conan:

“If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

“All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
