Solomon Overlooked

Famous quotes containing the words solomon and/or overlooked:

    Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon 4:5.

    In our great concern about the mental health of children, however, we have overlooked the mental health of mothers. They have been led to believe that their children’s needs must not be frustrated, and therefore all of their own normal angers, the normal ambivalences of living, are not permissible. The mother who has “bad” feelings toward her child is a bad mother.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
