Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“Love brings to light the lofty and hidden characteristics of the lover—what is rare and exceptional in him: to that extent it can easily be deceptive with respect to what is normal in him.”
