Children usually do not blame themselves for getting lost.

Sometimes the most beautiful thing is precisely the one that comes unexpectedly and unearned, hence something given truly as a present.

The horrors of war, pale beside the loss of a mother

My different personalities leave me in peace now.

It is only when parental feelings are ineffective or too ambivalent or when the mother's emotions are temporarily engaged elsewhere that children feel lost.

We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work.

Things are not as we would like them to be. There is only one way to deal with it, namely to try and be all right oneself.
