Famous quotes containing the words rare and/or stamps:
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””

“What is the worst of woes that wait on age?
What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?

And be alone on earth, as I am now.”
