Famous quotes containing the words separate and/or words:
“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, I’m going to braid your tongue.””
—David Elkind (20th century)
“On a few words of what is real in the world
I nourish myself. I defend myself against
Whatever remains.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
