“Because the young child feels with such intensity, he experiences sorrows that seem inconsolable and losses that feel unbearable. A precious toy gets broken or a good-bye cannot be endured. When this happens, words like “sad” or “disappointed” seem a travesty because they cannot possibly capture the enormity of the child’s loss. He needs a loving adult presence to support him in his pain but he does not want to be talked out of it.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Anxiety weighs down the human heart, but a good word cheers it up.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 12:25.
“Lies are never innocent. And yours makes beings and things important. That is what I cannot forgive you.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
