Famous quotes containing the words sensitive and/or period:
“Compared to other parents, remarried parents seem more desirous of their childs approval, more alert to the childs emotional state, and more sensitive in their parent-child relations. Perhaps this is the result of heightened empathy for the childs suffering, perhaps it is a guilt reaction; in either case, it gives the child a potent weaponthe power to disrupt the new household and come between parent and the new spouse.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“Colonial system, public debts, heavy taxes, protection, commercial wars, etc., these offshoots of the period of manufacture swell to gigantic proportions during the period of infancy of large-scale industry. The birth of the latter is celebrated by a vast, Herod-like slaughter of the innocents.”
—Karl Marx (18181883)
