Famous quotes containing the words access and/or point:

    A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    There’s no point in success if you don’t let it go to your head. That’s what it’s for.
    John Otway (b. 1953)
