Quote by Howard Safir

He's had a tough life. As is not unusual in Jewish families - if you've ever seen the movie Avalon - I think somebody's cut the turkey on Uncle Louis a few years ago... That doesn't change my view of him when I was young and he was a detective.

He's had a tough life. As is not unusual in Jewish families

Summary

The quote suggests that despite the hardships and adversities the individual in question has faced in their life, the speaker's perception of this person remains unchanged from their childhood. The reference to the movie Avalon, which portrays the struggles of a Jewish family, suggests that challenges are not uncommon in such families. The mention of someone cutting the turkey on Uncle Louis implies both familial disagreements and potential conflicts within the family. Nevertheless, the speaker maintains a positive view of this person based on their past role as a detective. The quote highlights the speaker's ability to separate personal struggles from professional accomplishments in their perception of this individual.

Granted there are instances in which children have been rear

Granted there are instances in which children have been reared in an atmosphere of inconsistency where value training of any kind was entirely missing; but even in these cases, it is the lack of loving guidance and structure rather than the lack of punitive retribution that has triggered the behavioral manifestations of delinquency. In a high percentage of court cases, there is evidence that the child has met with punishment that has not only been frequent but in many cases excessive. In fact, one of the sources of the child's own inadequate development is the model of open violence provided by the parent who has resorted repeatedly to corporal punishment, usually because of his own limited imagination. This indoctrination into a world where only might makes right and where all strength is invested in the authority of the mother or of the father not only makes it easy for the child to develop aggressive patterns of behavior but makes him emotionally distant and distrustful.

Sydney Smith, quoted by by Karl

Out of the multitude of our sense experiences we take, mentally and arbitrarily, certain repeatedly occurring complexes of sense impression (partly in conjunction with sense impressions which are interpreted as signs for sense experiences of others), and we attribute to them a meaning the meaning of the bodily object.

I cannot say much for this Monarch's Sense--Nor would I if I could, for he was a Lancastrian. I suppose you know all about the Wars between him and the Duke of York who was on the right side; if you do not, you had better read some other History, for I shall not be very difuse in this, meaning by it only to vent my spleen against, and show my Hatred to all those people whose parties or principles do not suit with mine, and not to give information.
