“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.”

“Hard-hearted girl,
get rid of these doubts
based on false rumor.
Its not good
to subject me to sorrow
because of backbiters words,
or have you decided now,
silly girl,
that its all true?
Do to me what you will,
sweetheart.
Suit yourself.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“Play is a major avenue for learning to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject.... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Anybody whos been through a divorce will tell you that at one point ... theyve thought murder. The line between thinking murder and doing murder isnt that major.”
