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

    Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.
    Bettina Arndt (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)

    People’s backyards are much more interesting than their front gardens, and houses that back on to railways are public benefactors.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
