“Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)

—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“With a group of bankers I always had the feeling that success was measured by the extent one gave nothing away.”
