Famous quotes containing the words launched, air and/or strikes:
“Once youve been launched into parenthood, youll need all your best skills, self-control, good judgment and patience. But at the same time there is nothing like the thrill and exhilaration that come from watching that bright, cheerful, inquisitive, creative, eccentric and even goofy child you have raised flourish and shine. Thats what keeps you going, and what, in the end, makes it all worthwhile.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“The air split into nine levels,
Some gift of tongues of the whistler”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
“What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples dont walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
