I tell you honestly what I think is the cause of the complicated maladies of the human race: it is their gormandizing and stuffing, and stimulating their digestive organs to an excess, thereby producing nervous disorders and irritation. – John Abernethy (1764–1831)
Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I dont know. I dont know. Ive convinced myself – I hope Im right – that children despair of you if you dont tell them the truth. – Maurice Sendak
