“Then must you speak
Of one the lovd not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplexd in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe;”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)

Every interview with a mother or father confirms this, every letter written by a parent breathes this deep-seated wish, I hope I am doing the right thing for my child. This is real and honest, and at the very base of parenthood.”
—Irma Simonton Black (20th century)
“Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapors that did seem to strangle him”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
