“ Only where children gatheris there any real chance of fun. ”
There's only one person who needs a glass of water oftener than a small child tucked in for the night, and that's a writer sitting down to write.
~ Mignon Mclaughlin
What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.
Family quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, a pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back.
Courage can't see around corners, but goes around them anyway.
