Those undreamt accidents that have made me

—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)

If stress matters, it is in terms of how it influences the relationships that are important to the child.”
—Felton Earls (20th century)
“I have come back
but disorder is not what it was.
I have lost the trick of it!
The innocence of it!”
