Substitute

Famous quotes containing the word substitute:

“Your children are not here to fill the void left by marital dissatisfaction and disengagement. They are not to be utilized as a substitute for adult-adult intimacy. They are not in this world in order to satisfy a wife’s or a husband’s need for love, closeness or a sense of worth. A child’s task is to fully develop his/her emerging self. When we place our children in the position of satisfying our needs, we rob them of their childhood.”
—Aaron Hess (20th century)

“Indifference is an excellent substitute for patience.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“In this loveless everyday life eroticism is a substitute for love.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
