Survey Mile

Famous quotes containing the words survey and/or mile:

    In a famous Middletown study of Muncie, Indiana, in 1924, mothers were asked to rank the qualities they most desire in their children. At the top of the list were conformity and strict obedience. More than fifty years later, when the Middletown survey was replicated, mothers placed autonomy and independence first. The healthiest parenting probably promotes a balance of these qualities in children.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    smile
    As you find a rhythm
    Working you, slow mile by mile,
    Into your proper haunt
    Somewhere, well out, beyond . . .
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
