Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or people:
“I sprang not more in joy at first hearing he was a man-child
than now in first seeing he had proved himself a man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We do the same thing to parents that we do to children. We insist that they are some kind of categorical abstraction because they produced a child. They were people before that, and they’re still people in all other areas of their lives. But when it comes to the state of parenthood they are abruptly heir to a whole collection of virtues and feelings that are assigned to them with a fine arbitrary disregard for individuality.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
