Famous quotes containing the words michael and/or watson:

    Being a parent is a form of leadership. . . . Parents make a mistake, along with leaders of organizations, when they are unwilling to recognize the power inherent in the positions they occupy and when they are unwilling to use this power. . . . I do not mean a figure who is irrational, autocratic, or sadistic. I mean leaders who have the strength of character to stand up for what they believe.
    —Abraham Zaleznik. In Support of Families, ed. Michael W. Yogman and T. Berry Brazelton, ch. 8 (1986)

    Now there are nine. There’ll be more, many more. They’re coming for me now. And then they’ll come for you.
    Robb White, and William Castle. Watson Pritchard (Elisha Cook)
