Famous quotes containing the words ellen and/or rodgers:

    I know that each stage is not going to last forever. I used to think that when he was little. Whenever he was in a bad stage I thought that he was going to be like that for the rest of his life and that I’d better do something to shape him up. When he was in a good state, I thought he was going to be a perfect child and I would never have to worry; he was always going to stay that way.
    —Anonymous Parent of An Eight-Year-Old. As quoted in Between Generations by Ellen Galinsky, ch. 4 (1981)

    No bones made, bans laid, or boons expected,
    No contracts, entails, hereditaments,
    Anything at all that might tie or hem.
    —William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
