Famous quotes containing the word unique:
“The unique random blend
Of families and fashions, there
At last begin to loosen.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Most women of [the WW II] generation have but one image of good motherhood—the one their mothers embodied. . . . Anything done “for the sake of the children” justified, even ennobled the mother’s role. Motherhood was tantamount to martyrdom during that unique era when children were gods. Those who appeared to put their own needs first were castigated and shunned—the ultimate damnation for a gender trained to be wholly dependent on the acceptance and praise of others.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“When each thing is unique in itself, there can be no comparison made.... There is only this strange recognition of present otherness.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
