Quote by Thomas Middleton

“I that am of your blood was taken from you For your better health; look no more upon 't, But cast it to the ground regardlessly, Let the common sewer take it from distinction: Beneath the stars, upon yon meteor Ever hung my fate, 'mongst things corruptible; I ne'er could pluck it from him; my loathing Was prophet to the rest, but ne'er believed.”

“Our family was an organic, free-range, humanely sourced kind of family. The kind of family who uses plant-based cleaners that aren’t strong enough to actually degrease anything so every pot and pan has a sort of waxy sheen on it forever. My parents were hippies and didn’t do anything according to the status quo. I’m pretty sure my father still wakes up every morning, checks in on what the entire world is doing, and then does the opposite.”

“Itu juga gunanya keluarga, kan? Saling mendukung di segala keadaan, baik atau buruk, bukannya memperburuk? Apa kita nggak cukup dengan ada buat satu sama lain dan saling menguatkan? Tanpa dibebani ekspektasi kamu yang selalu ingin berkembang? Berkembang yang seperti apa dulu, Sof? Buat pengakuan orang lain? Supaya bisa diterima sama orang lain? Itu yang bikin kamu selalu membandingkan apa yang kamu punya dengan apa yang dipunya orang lain. Standar kamu. Ekspektasi kamu. Bikin silau!”

“...Lady Middleton had taken the wise precaution of bringing with her their eldest child, a fine little boy about six years old, by which means there was one subject always to be recurred to by the ladies in case of extremity, for they had to enquire his name and age, admire his beauty, and ask him questions which his mother answered for him, while he hung about her and held down his head, to the great surprise of her ladyship, who wondered at his being so shy before company, as he could make noise enough at home. On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse. In the present case it took up ten minutes to determine whether the boy were most like his father or mother, and in what particular he resembled either, for of course every body differed, and every body was astonished at the opinion of the others.”
