“Very early in our children’s lives we will be forced to realize that the “perfect” untroubled life we’d like for them is just a fantasy. In daily living, tears and fights and doing things we don’t want to do are all part of our human ways of developing into adults.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“It was a thing of beauty and was sent
To live its life out as an ornament.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
