Private Static Void

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or void:

    I throw myself on your discretion and shew my confidence in it when I thus venture to write in a private character what seems to contradict my public duty.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Your children are not here to fill the void left by marital dissatisfaction and disengagement. They are not to be utilized as a substitute for adult-adult intimacy. They are not in this world in order to satisfy a wife’s or a husband’s need for love, closeness or a sense of worth. A child’s task is to fully develop his/her emerging self. When we place our children in the position of satisfying our needs, we rob them of their childhood.
    Aaron Hess (20th century)
