Middle Channel

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or channel:

    I wanted him to fly, burst like a missile from your throat,
    burst from the spidery-mother-web,
    burst from Woman herself
    where too many had laid out lights
    that stuck to you and left a burn
    that smarted into your middle age.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.
    Louise Hart (20th century)
