Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or assessment:

    “It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
