“A major misunderstanding of child rearing has been the idea that meeting a child’s needs is an end in itself, for the purpose of the child’s mental health. Mothers have not understood that this is but one step in social development, the goal of which is to help a child begin to consider others. As a result, they often have not considered their children but have instead allowed their children’s reality to take precedence, out of a fear of damaging them emotionally.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

“It is unconscionable that we ration health care by the ability to pay.... your heart breaks. Health care should be a given.”
