Famous quotes containing the word types:

    “Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    “He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
    —Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)

    “He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
    Senile fudge and solemn:
    Spare, editor, to condemn
    These dry leaves of his autumn.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
