Raise

Famous quotes containing the word raise:

“The attempt to be an ideal parent, that is, to behave correctly toward the child, to raise her correctly, not to give to little or too much, is in essence an attempt to be the ideal child—well behaved and dutiful—of one’s own parents. But as a result of these efforts the needs of the child go unnoticed. I cannot listen to my child with empathy if I am inwardly preoccupied with being a good mother; I cannot be open to what she is telling me.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)

“To raise a son without learning is raising an ass; to raise a daughter without learning is raising a pig.”
—Chinese proverb.

“I raise my pelvis to God
so that it may know the truth of how
flowers smash through the long winter.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
