World Strongest

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or strongest:

    ... the world always a step
    beyond the world, that can’t
    be looked for, only
    as the eye wanders,
    found.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Some parents were awful back then and are awful still. The process of raising you didn’t turn them into grown-ups. Parents who were clearly imperfect can be helpful to you. As you were trying to grow up despite their fumbling efforts, you had to develop skills and tolerances other kids missed out on. Some of the strongest people I know grew up taking care of inept, invalid, or psychotic parents—but they know the parents weren’t normal, healthy, or whole.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)
