    “And such are we—
    Unreasoning, sanguine, visionary—
    That I can hope
    Health, love, friends, scope
    In full for thee; can dream thou’lt find
    Joys seldom yet attained by humankind!”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Breaking free from the delicious security of mother love can be a painful rupture for either mother or son. Some boys can’t do it. Some mothers can’t let it happen because they know the boy is not ready to leave her; others are simply not ready to give up their sons.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)
