“Jock byl vmžiku u mne a vnutil mi do ztuhlých prstů jednu ze svých proslulých brandy se sodou. (Tajemství proslulých Jockových brandy se sodou spočívá v tom, že je dělá bez sody; je to jednoduchý trik, který si každý snadno osvojí.)”

“you just wanted her to say, “I know what that’s like.” But of course, she can’t say that, will never say that. And if she ever could then you could no longer be with her. Then you would both be tired. Then she would be a better friend, but a worse lover.”

“Why is bedtime so hard for many families? Because the needs of parents and children clash. To parents, bedtime is the time they finally get to separate from their children and have a little time to themselves. To children, bedtime is the time they’re forced to separate from their parents and lie in the dark by themselves. On top of that, children are exhausted and wound up, and parents are exhausted and fed up. No wonder it’s the single most challenging time in most families.”
