    Unresolved dissonances between the characters and dispositions of the parents continue to reverberate in the nature of the child and make up the history of its inner sufferings.

    Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
