Famous quotes containing the words solo and/or deal:
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“A man’s ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful,Mwhile his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, besides being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with,Mhe who knows nothing about a subject, and, what is extremely rare, knows that he knows nothing, or he who really knows something about it, but thinks that he knows all?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
