Famous quotes containing the words role and/or filled:
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“A tragedy need not have blood and death: It’s enough ... that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.”
—Jean Racine (1639–1699)
