Involving Actual Conflict

Famous quotes containing the words involving, actual and/or conflict:

    Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.
    Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)

    Our actual Friends are but distant relations of those to whom we are pledged.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Sometimes the children who are no problem to their parents should be looked at more closely. This is especially true if those children are extremely obedient and have few friends their own age. A good self-concept allows children to explore the world, risk engaging in conflict and failing. Children who play it safe by never disobeying or risking conflict may be telling you that they feel unqualified to face the world head-on.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
