Require

Famous quotes containing the word require:

“Since mothers are more likely to take children to their activities—the playground, ballet or karate class, birthday parties—they get a chance to see other children in action.... Fathers usually don’t spend as much time with other people’s kids; because of this, they have a narrower view of what constitutes “normal” behavior, and therefore what should or shouldn’t require parental discipline.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)

“I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Bardot, Byron, Hitler, Hemingway, Monroe, Sade: we do not require our heroes to be subtle, just to be big. Then we can depend on someone to make them subtle.”
—D.J. Enright (b. 1920)
