Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or relations:
“Humour is the first of the gifts to perish in a foreign tongue.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
