Famous quotes containing the words specific, heat and/or capacity:
“Most parents aren’t even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance.

—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“When the heat of the summer
Made drowsy the land,
A dragon-fly came
And sat on my hand;”

“Our capacity to retaliate must be, and is, massive in order to deter all forms of aggression.”
