Extra Wide Gathers

Famous quotes containing the words extra, wide and/or gathers:

    When we leave our child in nursery school for the first time, it won’t be just our child’s feelings about separation that we will have to cope with, but our own feelings as well—from our present and from our past, parents are extra vulnerable to new tremors from old earthquakes.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    There was no corn—in the wide market-place
    All loathliest things, even human flesh, was sold;
    They weighed it in small scales—and many a face
    Was fixt in eager horror then; his gold
    The miser brought; the tender maid, grown bold
    Through hunger, bared her scornèd charms in vain.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    When we acknowledge a child’s feelings, we do him a great service. We put him in touch with his inner reality. And once he’s clear about that reality, he gathers the strength to begin to cope.
    Adele Faber (20th century)
