“All parents occasionally have ambivalent feelings toward their children. We love our kids, but there are times when we don’t really like them, or at least we can’t stand what our children are doing. But most of us keep those feelings to ourselves, as if it’s dirty little secret. It doesn’t fit in with our images of what we should do and feel as parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

“Every word which is used to express a moral or intellectual fact, if traced to its root, is found to be borrowed from some material appearance.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
