“Yet, love and hate mee too,

“As a father I had some trouble finding the words to separate the person from the deed. Usually, when one of my sons broke the rules or a window, I was too angry to speak calmly and objectively. My own solution was to express my feelings, but in an exaggerated, humorous way: “You do that again and you will be grounded so long they will call you Rip Van Winkle II,” or “If I hear that word again, I’m going to braid your tongue.””
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Let us be unashamed of soul,
As earth lies bare to heaven above!
How is it under our control
To love or not to love?”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
