Upbringing Quotes - page 7
I really did have a very egalitarian upbringing.
Michael Moorcock
Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.
Anderson Cooper
It was deeply important for me to understand where Mandela came from. Because we know where he was going, and that's a famous story, but who was he? Where did he come from? What was his upbringing?
Idris Elba
To my analytical mind this relationship of marriage was a very forced one between two people. I understood that for the security and upbringing of the child the parents need to be monogamous. Because then the child will have a secure home. But both people should understand and accept the fact that there would always be temptation. That's not bad in itself because what is temptation?
Protima Bedi
My parents gave me a strict upbringing, which at times has caused me to suffer distress but today I am grateful to them for it.
Brigitte Bardot
Someone with a fresh mind, one not conditioned by upbringing and environment, would doubtless look at science and the powerful reductionism that it inspires as overwhelmingly the better mode of understanding the world, and would doubtless scorn religion as sentimental wishful thinking. Would not that same uncluttered mind also see the attempts to reconcile science and religion by disparaging the reduction of the complex to the simple as attempts guided by muddle-headed sentiment and intellectually dishonest emotion?
Peter Atkins
I grew up incredibly poor and went to school and had a very average upbringing.
Mila Kunis
You do need parental guidance and I was in a great position with both my mum and dad. They split when I was a baby but even though I stayed with my mom they were both very much involved in my upbringing.
Leonardo DiCaprio
I mean, I didn't have a huge upbringing with movies, I guess.
Peter Jackson
A lot of my upbringing was about denying or fretting or evading.
Jhumpa Lahiri
As is said about most writers: on the one hand all I ever did from when I was a child was read, and I was a loner, which was furthered by my parents and my upbringing.
Elfriede Jelinek
It is quite clear that beauty does depend on one's culture and upbringing for certain kinds of beauty, pictures, literature, poetry and so on...But mathematical beauty is of a rather different kind. I should say perhaps it is of a completely different kind and transcends these personal factors. It is the same in all countries and at all periods of time.
Paul Dirac
Religion of your upbringing is like a cloak - you must know how it is made in order to take it off.
Baba Hari Dass
I learned from my Adventist upbringing that the biggest sins were sexual.
Luke Ford
My upbringing was very straightforward suburban working class upbringing.
Billy Bragg
If you can make yourself symmetrical, you're sending out a sign that you've got good genes, you've got a good upbringing and therefore you'll make a good mate.
Marcus du Sautoy
Storytelling was a way to see the world bigger than the one you were looking at, and that had great appeal for me. I think since that was part of my upbringing, it became part of me, and I wanted to pass it along to my kids and my grandkids.
Robert Redford
A lot of that just comes from my upbringing. I have a tremendous mother and father, I grew up in the church, I have a very religious family. I'm not all about myself just because I know if it wasn't for God, I wouldn't be able to go out there and compete anyway. So I never look at it as a selfish thing-I never want all the attention or want it to be about me, because I never want to get in to a situation where God has to humble me. I know for a fact that I am not doing it by myself; it is because of Him that I can compete over and over again. That's basically how I grew up. I was blessed and fortunate to have a family like I have.
Javon Ringer
My therapist says I still haven't got in touch with my anger. Maybe one day I'm going to explode. But I'm still really happy. I know it looks like a strange and painful upbringing - all those experiences led me to the paths that I'm on now.
Drew Barrymore
What makes karma a major problem for people is their inability to deal with it, to recognize their own responsibility for it, and to do something about it. Most people blame their problems on other people or on circumstances: it was their upbringing, the fact that their parents did not love them, or got divorced, or left them wanting, or that their husband left them, or did not leave them. All these experiences are shed onto someone else, but of course it is all to do with karma, our own responsibility.
Benjamin Creme
The Armenian Church should save nothing on Armenian upbringing and spiritual integrity of the young generation.
Sebouh Chouldjian
It was still very hard for me to sometimes know where my Catholic–Christian upbringing stopped and my grandmother's Indian teachings began. For me it was all like one big river running together with all these different waters.
Victor Villaseñor
