Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or process:

    “The desire of most parents is first and foremost to do what is best for their children. Every interview with a mother or father confirms this, every letter written by a parent breathes this deep-seated wish, “I hope I am doing the right thing for my child.” This is real and honest, and at the very base of parenthood.”
    —Irma Simonton Black (20th century)

    “The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it is interrupted each night, it is one single notation.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
