“One takes great pleasure in seeing children acquire skills one does not have, seeing them become, thankfully, different from oneself.”
Tim Parks, An Italian Education

Sarah Rees Brennan
“What, you people expect women to tear apart their bodies and then go to all the bother of raising the children? That takes years, you know,” Serene remarked sternly. “The women’s labour is brief and agonizing, and the man’s is long and arduous. This seems only just. What on earth are men contributing to their children’s lives in the human world? Why would any human woman agree to have a child?” “The more she talks the more sense it all makes,” said Elliot. “Has anyone else discovered that?”
Sarah Rees Brennan, In Other Lands
