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)

“Quantity in food is more to be regarded than quality. A full meal is a great enemy both to study and industry.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
