Important Role

Famous quotes containing the words important and/or role:

    The important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.
    Grace Baruch (20th century)
