Singular Values

Famous quotes containing the words singular and/or values:

    The singular passion
    Abides its object and consumes desire
    In the circling shadow of its appetite.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
