Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or safety:
“It always remains true that if we had been greater, circumstance would have been less strong against us.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“[As teenager], the trauma of near-misses and almost- consequences usually brings us to our senses. We finally come down someplace between our parents’ safety advice, which underestimates our ability, and our own unreasonable disregard for safety, which is our childlike wish for invulnerability. Our definition of acceptable risk becomes a product of our own experience.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
