    “The French are a tremendously verbal race: they kill you with their assurances, their repetitions, their reasons, their platitudes, their formulae, their propositions, their solutions.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    “Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids.
