“Many people operate under the assumption that since parenting is a natural adult function, we should instinctively know how to do it—and do it well.

Yet we “operate” on our children every day.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)

—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“The great tragedy of science—the slaying of a beautiful theory by an ugly fact.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
