"Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people."

"Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go."

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."

"How sad it is that we give up on people who are just like us."
