Mother Quotes
Add there was that moment when my mother and father walked in the door disguised as old people.

If your little savage were left to himself and be allowed to retain all his ignorance, he would in time join the infant’s reasoning to the grown man’s passion, he would strangle his father and sleep with his mother.
