Famous quotes containing the words major, stock and/or exchanges:

    “A major misunderstanding of child rearing has been the idea that meeting a child’s needs is an end in itself, for the purpose of the child’s mental health. Mothers have not understood that this is but one step in social development, the goal of which is to help a child begin to consider others. As a result, they often have not considered their children but have instead allowed their children’s reality to take precedence, out of a fear of damaging them emotionally.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)

    “I’d rather I were dead and gone,
    And my body laid in grave,
    Ere a rusty stock o coal-black smith
    My maidenhead should have.”
    —Unknown. The Twa Magicians (l. 17–20)

    “When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one.”
    —Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
