Sensitive Period

Famous quotes containing the words sensitive and/or period:

    We have lit upon the gentle, sensitive mind
    And lost the old nonchalance of the hand;
    We are but critics, or but half create,
    Timid, entangled, empty and abashed,
    Lacking the countenance of our friends.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
