“un padre que monta en cólera cuando su hijo falla o pierde, cuando regresa a casa con notas desaprobatorias o sin la esperada convocatoria al equipo de fútbol, la orquesta sinfónica, el cuadro de brigadieres o lo que fuere, veo en realidad a un niño fracasado metido en el cuerpo de un adulto, un niño angustiado tratando de vengarse de su pasado, de las veces en que no pudo o no supo cómo sobresalir, cómo ganar una carrera, cómo tocar un instrumento, cómo meter un gol, cómo imponerse en determinado concurso, cómo resaltar, cómo ser lo que todos esperaban que fuese.”

“Do you know what the worst thing about being a parent is? That you're always judged by your worst moments. You can do a million things right, but if you do one single thing wrong you're forever that parent who was checking his phone in the park when your child was hit in the head by a swing. We don't take our eyes off them for days at a time, but then you read just one text message and it's as if all your best moments never happened. No one goes to see a psychologist to talk about all the times they weren't hit in the head by a swing as a child. Parents are defined by their mistakes.”
