Preserves Limits

Famous quotes containing the words preserves and/or limits:

“Writing novels preserves you in a state of innocence—a lot passes you by—simply because your attention is otherwise diverted.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
