“I loved her, instantly. Of course, most parents love their children instantly. But I mention it here because I still find it a remarkable thing. Where was that love before? Where did you acquire it from? The way it is suddenly there, total and complete, as sudden as grief, but in reverse, is one of the wonders about being human.”
― Matt Haig, How to Stop Time

John Wilmot
“Before I got married I had six theories about raising children; now, I have six children and no theories.”
― John Wilmot
