Quote by Annie Ernaux

“Mijn moeder, die geboren is in een onderdruk milieu waaruit zij zich wilde losmaken, moest eerst geschiedenis worden opdat ik mij minder alleen en kunstmatig voel in de overheersende wereld van woorden en ideeën waarin ik, naar haar wens, ben overgestapt.”

“La Leche League and the What to Expect books are even explicit about this fear: the pacifier, they warn, cannot substitute for a mother. This is the rare piece of parenting wisdom that manages to be both condescending and confusing. Condescending because it seems unlikely that parents who were considering using a pacifier—parents diligent enough to look it up in a book—were also considering abandoning their child altogether. Confusing because, well—what? How would a pacifier substitute for a mother—how exactly? Are there pacifiers on the market that cuddle and feed and rock and dote on a child? Is a mother nothing more than a nipple?”
