Lionel Shriver Quotes
I Realize It's Commonplace For Parents To Say To Their Child Sternly, 'I Love You, But I Don't Always Like You.' But What Kind Of Love Is That? It Seems To Me That Comes Down To, 'I'm Not Oblivious To You - That Is, You Can Still Hurt My Feelings - But I Can't Stand Having You Around.' Who Wants To Be Loved Like That? Given A Choice, I Might Skip The Deep Blood Tie And Settle For Being Liked. I Wonder If Wouldn't Have Been More Moved If My Own Mother Had Taken Me In Her Arms And Said, 'I Like You.' I Wonder If Just Enjoying Your Kid's Company Isn't More Important.
