Famous quotes containing the words research on, research, halfway and/or houses:

    The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    I feel so useless. Here I am nearly halfway through life, and what have I done?... I have nothing to show for all my years.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    The houses are haunted
    By white night-gowns.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
