    “He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. This amicable conflict with difficulty helps us to an intimate acquaintance with our object, and compels us to consider it in all its relations. It will not suffer us to be superficial.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “Often, when there is a conflict between parent and child, at its very hub is an expectation that the child should be acting differently. Sometimes these expectations run counter what is known about children’s growth. They stem from remembering oneself, but usually at a slightly older age.”
    —Ellen Galinsky (20th century)

    “This very Rome that we behold deserves our love ...: the only common and universal city.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
