Anthony Marra Quotes
No One Likes A Braggart, And To Praise Your Children Is To Curse Them With Misfortune, But We Admit It, If Only In Secret, If Only To Ourselves: We Are Proud, We Are So Proud Of Them. We've Given Them All We Can, But Our Greatest Gift Has Been To Imprint Upon Them Our Own Ordinariness. They May Begrudge Us, May Think Us Unambitious And Narrow-minded, But Someday They Will Realize That What Makes Them Unremarkable Is What Kept Them Alive.
