“The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.”

Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:
We grow sea-green at last and coldly die
In brininess and volubility.”

“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
