“Like to the Pontic Sea,
Whose icy current and compulsive course
Neer knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on
To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
Even so my bloody thoughts with violent pace
Shall neer look back, neer ebb to humble love,
Till that a capable and wide revenge
Swallow them up.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Hume, and other skeptical innovators, are vain men, and will gratify themselves at any expense. Truth will not afford sufficient food to their vanity; so they have betaken themselves to errour. Truth, Sir, is a cow that will yield such people no more milk, and so they are gone to milk the bull.”
—James Boswell (17401795)
“Numerous studies have shown that those adults who feel the most frustrated by childrenand the least competent as parentsusually have one thing in common.... They dont know what behaviors are normal and appropriate for children at different stages of development. This leads them to misinterpret their childrens natural behaviors and to have inappropriate expectations, both for their children and themselves.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
