Meinir

“In any event, parents never underestimated the abilities of their own children. Quite the reverse. Sometimes it was well nigh impossible for a teacher to convince the proud father or mother that their beloved offspring was a complete nitwit.”
― Roald Dahl, Matilda

“Where are you now, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping
From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need? Do you know the greatness of my patience?”
― Kahlil Gibran, Love Letters in the Sand: The Love Poems of Khalil Gibran

“The feelings we live through
in love and in loneliness
are simply, for us,
what high tide
and low tide are to the sea.”
― Khalil Gibran, Love Letters in the Sand: The Love Poems of Khalil Gibran

“It's a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.”
― Roald Dahl, Matilda
