Famous quotes containing the words john, gregory and/or dunne:

    [17th-century] Puritans were the first modern parents. Like many of us, they looked on their treatment of children as a test of their own self-control. Their goal was not to simply to ensure the child’s duty to the family, but to help him or her make personal, individual commitments. They were the first authors to state that children must obey God rather than parents, in case of a clear conflict.
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    when her husband came,
    complaining about the tobacco spit on him,
    they decided to run North
    for a free evening.
    —Carole Gregory Clemmons (b. 1945)

    I didn’t lead a very wise life, myself, but it was a full one and a grown-up one. You come of age very quickly through shipwreck and disaster.
    —Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
