Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or drop:
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“we drop into the soup
and drown
in the worry festering inside us,
lest our children
go so fast
they go.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
