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)

“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
