Sir Allan Napier

Famous quotes containing the words allan and/or napier:

    like a ghastly rapid river,
    Through the pale door
    A hideous throng rush out forever,
    And laugh—but smile no more.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    Parenting is a profoundly reciprocal process: we, the shapers of our children’s lives, are also being shaped. As we struggle to be parents, we are forced to encounter ourselves; and if we are willing to look at what is happening between us and our children, we may learn how we came to be who we are.
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
