Resilient

Famous quotes containing the word resilient:

“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)

“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)
