Famous quotes containing the words object and/or focus:
“My object all sublime
I shall achieve in time—
To let the punishment fit the crime—
The punishment fit the crime;”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“If we focus mostly on how we might have been partly or wholly to blame for what might have been less than a perfect, problem- free childhood, our guilt will overwhelm their pain. It becomes a story about us, not them. . . . When we listen, accept, and acknowledge, we feel regret instead, which is simply guilt without neurosis.”
—Jane Adams (20th century)
