Famous quotes containing the word tying:
“I think it is better to show love by meeting needs than to keep telling my son that I love him. Right now he is learning to tie his shoes. He is old enough, so even though its hard for him, sometimes I insist. But once in a while when I see hes tired I still do it for him, and I have noticed that while I am tying his shoe, he says, I love you, Mommy. When he says, I love you, I know that he knows that he is loved.”
—Anonymous Parent (20th century)
“To the young mind, every thing is individual, stands by itself. By and by, it finds how to join two things, and see in them one nature; then three, then three thousand; and so, tyrannized over by its own unifying instinct, it goes on tying things together, diminishing anomalies, discovering roots running underground, whereby contrary and remote things cohere, and flower out from one stem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I am always tying up
and then deciding to depart.”
—Frank OHara (19261966)
