Responding

Famous quotes containing the word responding:

“To be motivated to sit at home and study, instead of going out and playing, children need a sense of themselves over time—they need to be able to picture themselves in the future.... If they can’t, then they’re simply reacting to daily events, responding to the needs of the moment—for pleasure, for affiliation, for acceptance.”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)

“I’m responding to the will of the people.”
—David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Al Capone (Robert DeNiro)

“For both parties, the most disagreeable way of responding to a polemic is to be angry and keep silent: for the aggressor usually takes the silence as a sign of disdain.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
