“Anyone who has ever been a mother or father and is at all honest knows from experience how difficult it can be for parents to accept certain aspects of their children.

—Alice Miller (20th century)
“It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven’t done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–75)
“Somewhere it is written that parents who are critical of other people’s children and publicly admit they can do better are asking for it.”
