Sensitive Period

Famous quotes containing the words sensitive and/or period:

“We are sensitive to good or ill fortune only in proportion to our self-love.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means “full stop” like in punctuation. That’s stupid as well. A period isn’t a full stop. It’s a new beginning. I don’t mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean it’s a new beginning to the month, relief that you’re not pregnant, when you don’t have to have a child.”
—Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
