“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions?

“Lovers, forget your love,
And list to the love of these,

“With an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the life of things.”
