Resilient

Famous quotes containing the word resilient:

“I don’t see black people as victims even though we are exploited. Victims are flat, one- dimensional characters, someone rolled over by a steamroller so you have a cardboard person. We are far more resilient and more rounded than that. I will go on showing there’s more to us than our being victimized. Victims are dead.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)

“A child who thinks he is good at something even if he is not—soccer, math, violin—is likely to be more resilient than a child who is never satisfied with his efforts.”
—Barbara F. Meltz (20th century)
