Solid Support

Famous quotes containing the words solid and/or support:

    The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Because the young child feels with such intensity, he experiences sorrows that seem inconsolable and losses that feel unbearable. A precious toy gets broken or a good-bye cannot be endured. When this happens, words like “sad” or “disappointed” seem a travesty because they cannot possibly capture the enormity of the child’s loss. He needs a loving adult presence to support him in his pain but he does not want to be talked out of it.
    Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
