    Lisa Alther (2010). “Kinflicks”, p.362, Open Road Media
  • It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.

    Joyce Maynard (2010). “At Home in the World: A Memoir”, p.300, Macmillan

  • The entire history of humanity is marked by a single inexorable movement - from animal instinct toward rational thought, from inborn behavior toward acquired knowledge. A half-grown panther abandoned in the wilderness will grow up to be a perfectly normal panther. But a half-grown child similarly abandoned will grow up into an unrecognizable savage, unfit for normal society. Yet there are those who insist the opposite: that we are creatures of instinct, like wolves.

    Ursula K. Le Guin (2017). “No Time to Spare: Thinking about what Matters”, p.120, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

  • I believe that a good children's book should appeal to all people who have not completely lost their original joy and wonder in life. The fact is that I don't make books for children at all. I make them for that part of us, of myself and of my friends, which has never changed, which is still a child.

  • A grown child is a dangerous thing.

  • Remember, the goal is not to raise great kids; it's to raise kids who become great adults.

  • Parents offer an open womb. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can kiss it, and make it well whentheir grown children need to regress and repair. More than anyone else in your life, mothers, and sometimes fathers, can catch you when you start to fall. When you are in disgrace, defeat, and despair, home may be the safest place to hide.

  • Nothing is more debilitating than to care about something you can't do anything about. And you can't do anything about your adult children. You can want better for them, and maybe even begin to provide something for them, but in the long run, you cannot do anything about someone else's vibration other than hold them in the best light you can, mentally, and then project that to them. And sometimes, distance makes that much more possible than being up close to them.

  • I have four grown children and two tiny grandchildren.

    Children   Two   Tiny  
  • There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.

  • It's not only children who grow. Parents do too.

    Joyce Maynard (2010). “At Home in the World: A Memoir”, p.300, Macmillan
