Famous quotes containing the word warmth:
“Out of the first warmth of spring,
And out of the shine of the menlocks,
Among the bare and crooked trees,
She found a helping from the cold,
Like a meaning in nothingness....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I have great faith in ‘ordinary parents.’ Who has a child’s welfare more at heart than his ordinary parent? It’s been my experience that when parents are given the skills to be more helpful, not only are they able to use these skills, but they infuse them with a warmth and a style that is uniquely their own.”
—Haim Ginott (20th century)
“The capacity to give one’s attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle. Nearly all those who think they have this capacity do not possess it. Warmth of heart, impulsiveness, pity are not enough.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
