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 aren’t 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)
