Peers

Famous quotes containing the word peers:

“Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)

“Passion crashes into obstacles; Reason peers around them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Live without envy, spend your peaceful years
Unknown to fame, and choose your peers for friends.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
