Long Distance Boomerangs

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

“If you are willing to inconvenience yourself in the name of discipline, the battle is half over. Leave Grandma’s early if the children are acting impossible. Depart the ballpark in the sixth inning if you’ve warned the kids and their behavior is still poor. If we do something like this once, our kids will remember it for a long time.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

“Why does the past look so enticing to us? For the same reason why from a distance a meadow with flowers looks like a flower bed.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
