Famous quotes containing the words separate and/or state:
“As a father I had some trouble finding the words to separate the person from the deed. Usually, when one of my sons broke the rules or a window, I was too angry to speak calmly and objectively. My own solution was to express my feelings, but in an exaggerated, humorous way: You do that again and you will be grounded so long they will call you Rip Van Winkle II, or If I hear that word again, Im going to braid your tongue.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“What thou art is mine;
Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.”
—John Milton (16081674)
