Famous quotes containing the words permanently, dependent and/or child:

    I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics—that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.

Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends.

    And turned on him with such a daunting look,
    He said twice over before he knew himself:
    “Can’t a man speak of his own child he’s lost?”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
