Quotes by Cokie Roberts (?)

“When kids made a decision for themselves they have a vested interest in showing they were right. Lee wanted to prove to me that he had made the right choice so he worked hard and did well. If we'd forced him to go to college somewhere else all the incentives would've been different. Then he would have had a motive to prove that we were wrong.”
― Cokie Roberts Steve Roberts, From This Day Forward: A Wise and Endearing Memoir on Marriage, Family, and Faith

“John Quincy Adams subscribed to the thesis that his mother's generation was unique when he complained to [his wife] that there were no modern women like her. Abigail, God love her, shot back that women might act frivolous and flighty, but only because men wanted them to.”
― Cokie Roberts, Founding Mothers: Remembering the Ladies―Empowering Stories of Heroic Women Who Changed the Course of History During the American Revolution
