Famous quotes containing the words country and/or specific:
“The country is laid out in a haphazard, sloppy fashion, offensive to the tidy, organized mind.”
—Alan Brien (b. 1925)
“Most parents arent even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance. Thus, even when one child comes out on top in a comparison she is left feeling uneasy about the tenuousness of her position and the possibility of faring less well in the next comparison.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
