Purpose Cultural Cat

Famous quotes containing the words purpose, cultural and/or cat:

    For the purpose of knowledge, one must know how to use that inner current that draws us to a thing, and then the one that, after a time, draws us away from it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    There was a young curate of Kew
    Who kept a tom cat in a pew.
    He taught it to speak
    alphabetical Greek,
    But it never got further than ยต.
