Weight Shift

Famous quotes containing the words weight and/or shift:

    But I saw the little-Ant men as they ran
    Carrying the world’s weight of the world’s filth
    And the filth in the heart of Man—
    Compressed till those lusts and greeds had a greater heat
    than that of the Sun.
    Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

    The frantic search of five-year-olds for friends can thus be seen to forecast the beginnings of a basic shift in the parent-child relationship, a shift which will occur gradually over many long years, and in which a child needs not only the support of child allies engaged in the same struggle but also the understanding of his parents.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
