    Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    Parenting is a profoundly reciprocal process: we, the shapers of our children’s lives, are also being shaped. As we struggle to be parents, we are forced to encounter ourselves; and if we are willing to look at what is happening between us and our children, we may learn how we came to be who we are.
    —Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
