    What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    As we try to change, we will discover within us a fierce struggle between our loyalty to that battle-scarred victim of his own childhood, our father, and the father we want to be. We must meet our childhood father at close range: get to know him, learn to forgive him, and somehow, go beyond him.
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
