Quote by Sándor Márai

“Her pride, which was quite different from that of people who parade their position, their family ties, their wealth, their place in society, or their particular personal talents-Krisztina’s pride rested on her splendid independence, which coursed in her as both an inheritance and a poison.”

“Bevíem a glops aspres vins de burla el meu poble i jo. Escoltàvem forts arguments del sabre el meu poble i jo. Una tal lliçó hem hagut d'entendre el meu poble i jo. La mateixa sort ens uneix per sempre: el meu poble i jo. Senyor, servidor? Som indestriables el meu poble i jo. Tenim la raó contra bords i lladres el meu poble i jo. Salvàvem els mots de la nostra llengua el meu poble i jo. A baixar graons de dol apreníem el meu poble i jo. Davallats al pou, esguardem enlaire el meu poble i jo. Ens alcem tots dos en encesa espera, el meu poble i jo.”

“Research on avoidant attachment (a left-hemisphere-dominant form of relating) suggests that a mother's inner state of relative disengagement is reflected in her infant's biological response of needing to go it alone through increased attempts at self-regulation even at one year of age (Hill-Sonderlund et al., 2008). It is as though there is unspoken communication that life is about independence, encouraging mother and baby to move apart into more separate universes--together. For both parent and child, the long-term effects of such isolation are profound, leading to changes in their epigenetic profiles that support increased inflamation, the headwaters of many chronic illnesses (Fredrickson et al. 2013)”
