“Irish Americans are about as Irish as black Americans are African.”
—Bob Geldof (b. 1954)
“In war personal revenge maintains its silence.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Children are as destined biologically to break away as we are, emotionally, to hold on and protect. But thinking independently comes of acting independently. It begins with a two-year-old doggedly pulling on flannel pajamas during a July heat wave and with parents accepting that the impulse is a good one. When we let go of these small tasks without anger or sorrow but with pleasure and pride we give each act of independence our blessing.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
