“I have never understood people who want to keep their children as babies and regret every year that they grow older. I myself sometimes felt that I could hardly wait; I wanted to see exactly what Rosalind would be like in a year's time, a year after that, and so on.

It is like a strange plant which you have brought home, planted, and can hardly wait to see how it will turn out.”
