Short Messages

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or messages:

“[On being asked “what sort of future she anticipates having”:] A very short one.”
—Jeanne Calment (b. c. 1875)

“Acknowledging separation feelings directly and sympathetically is the best way of coping with them. It is actually helpful to tell a toddler “I’ll miss you,” or “I will think of you during the day,” or “It is hard to say goodbye,” or “I can’t wait to see you at the end of the day.” These messages tell the child that he is important to the parent even when they are not together and that out of sight need not mean out of mind.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
