Engaged Enemy

Famous quotes containing the words engaged and/or enemy:

“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

“The enemy of the conventional wisdom is not ideas but the march of events.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
