    We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.

    What a sense of security in an old book which Time has criticized for us!
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
