Reared

Famous quotes containing the word reared:

    Could it be that those who were reared in the postwar years really were spoiled, as we used to hear? Did a child-centered generation, raised in depression and war, produce a self-centered generation that resents children and parenthood?
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    He walks in his sleep into your life.
    He is worth knowing only for the children
    He has reared as savages in Utah.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The pork sizzles and cries for fish. Luckily for the foolish race, and this particularly foolish generation of trout, the night shut down at last, not a little deepened by the dark side of Ktaadn, which, like a permanent shadow, reared itself from the eastern bank.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
