Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or undesirable:
“Nothing significant was really said,
Though all agreed the talk superb....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Excessive attention, even if it’s negative, is such a powerful “reward” to a child that it actually reinforces the undesirable behavior. You need to learn restraint, to respond to far fewer situations, to ask yourself questions like, “Is this really important?” “Could I let this behavior go?” “What would happen if I just wait?” “Could I lose by doing nothing?””
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
