Puts

Famous quotes containing the word puts:

    One who puts on armor should not brag like one who takes it off.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 20:11.

    Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age.
    The child is grown, and puts away childish things.
    Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
    Nobody that matters, that is.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    As a medium of exchange,... worrying regulates intimacy, and it is often an appropriate response to ordinary demands that begin to feel excessive. But from a modernized Freudian view, worrying—as a reflex response to demand—never puts the self or the objects of its interest into question, and that is precisely its function in psychic life. It domesticates self-doubt.
    Adam Phillips, British child psychoanalyst. “Worrying and Its Discontents,” in On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored, p. 58, Harvard University Press (1993)
