Lionel Shriver Quotes
You See," I Proceeded, "by The Time He Was Eleven Or Twelve, This Was All Too Late. The No-gun Rules, The Computer Codes ... Children Live In The Same World We Do. To Kid Ourselves That We Can Shelter Them From It Isn't Just Naive, It's A Vanity. We Want To Be Able To Tell Ourselves What Good Parents We Are, That We're Doing Our Best. If I Had It All To Do Over Again, I'd Have Let Kevin Play With Whatever He Wanted; He Liked Little Enough. And I'd Have Ditched The TV Rules, The G-rated Videos. They Only Made Us Look Foolish. They Underscored Our Powerlessness, And They Provoked His Contempt.
