Potential Drop

Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or drop:

    Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.
    Elizabeth Debold (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)
