Famous quotes containing the words barber and/or lightfoot:

    English proverb, collected in George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs (1640)

    Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.
    —Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
