Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or drop:
“Views of women, on one side, as inwardly directed toward home and family and notions of men, on the other, as outwardly striving toward fame and fortune have resounded throughout literature and in the texts of history, biology, and psychology until they seem uncontestable. Such dichotomous views defy the complexities of individuals and stifle the potential for people to reveal different dimensions of themselves in various settings.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“O make harmonious mix of voice and string
To him by whom the skies with clouds are lin’d;
By whom the rain, from clouds to drop assign’d,
Supples the clods of summer-scorched fields,”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXLVII (Paraphrased by The Countess of Pembroke)
