It is actually helpful to tell a toddler Ill miss you, or I will think of you during the day, or It is hard to say goodbye, or I cant wait to see you at the end of the day.

—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will.”
