Famous quotes containing the word route:

    “A Route of Evanescence
    With a revolving Wheel—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
    —Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    “The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
    —Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
