My children understand that because they've experienced it. I feel successful as a parent, having done that. Ed Begley, Jr.

children book hands

So as we've gone on developing GOLDEN CHILD, the scenes from the past have become more dominant, and all that remains of the present are these two little bookends that frame the action. David Henry Hwang

How contemptible or odious to the spectator! The whole presents nothing but the idea of a blind Nature, inpregnated by a great vivifying principle, and pouring forth from her lap, without discernment or parental care, her maimed and abortive children. David Hume
