Famous quotes containing the words faulkner and/or reads:
“Maybe the only thing worse than having to give gratitude constantly ... is having to accept it.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
