Famous quotes containing the words enclosed, base and/or ring:
“The middle years of parenthood are characterized by ambiguity. Our kids are no longer helpless, but neither are they independent. We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
“No love is entirely without worth, even when the frivolous calls to the frivolous and the base to the base.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
“Ring out, ring out thy mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
