Today an American child can reasonably expect not to. Fatherlessness is now approaching a rough parity with fatherhood as a defining feature of American childhood.”
—David Blankenhorn (20th century)

“The great rule: If the little bit you have is nothing special in itself, at least find a way of saying it that is a little bit special.”
