Jennifer Senior Quotes

It Is Unrealistic, I Think - And By "unrealistic" I Mean It Is A Demand That Cannot Be Met - To Assume That If All Goes Well In A Child's Life, He Or She Will Be Happy. Not Because Life Is The Kind Of Thing That Doesn't Make You Happy; But Because Happiness Is Not Something One Can Ask Of A Child. Children, I Think, Suffer - In A Way That Adults Don't Always Realize - Under The Pressure Their Parents Put On Them To Be Happy, Which Is The Pressure Not To Make Their Parents Unhappy, Or More Unhappy Than They Already Are.
