Motivating Potential

Famous quotes containing the words motivating and/or potential:

    ...one of my motivating forces has been to recreate the world I know into a world I wish I could be in. Hence my optimism and happy endings. But I’ve never dreamed I could actually reshape the real world.
    Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)

    Most days I feel like an acrobat high above a crowd out of which my own parents, my in-laws, potential employers, phantoms of “other women who do it” and a thousand faceless eyes stare up.
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)
