Stair Step

Famous quotes containing the words stair and/or step:

    Provence,
    The Renascence, the age of Pericles, each
    A broad, rich-carpeted stair to pride
    With manhood now the cost they’re easy to follow
    For the ways taken are all notorious,
    Lettered, sculptured, and rhymed....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.
    Claire Berman (20th century)
