Native Support

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or support:

    When I think of my own native land,
    In a moment I seem to be there;
    But alas! recollection at hand
    Soon hurries me back to despair.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    Because the young child feels with such intensity, he experiences sorrows that seem inconsolable and losses that feel unbearable. A precious toy gets broken or a good-bye cannot be endured. When this happens, words like “sad” or “disappointed” seem a travesty because they cannot possibly capture the enormity of the child’s loss. He needs a loving adult presence to support him in his pain but he does not want to be talked out of it.
    Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
