“Emotionally immature parents fear genuine emotion and pull back from emotional closeness. They use coping mechanisms that resist reality rather than dealing with it. They don’t welcome self-reflection, so they rarely accept blame or apologize. Their immaturity makes them inconsis-tent and emotionally unreliable, and they’re blind to their children’s needs once their own agenda comes into play.”

“ছেলেমানুষ আর বুড়োমানুষ একই জগতে বাস করে, কিন্তু দুজনের দৃষ্টি সমান নয়। আমরা ছেলেবেলায় মাঝে-মাঝে যে অদ্ভুত লোকের সংস্পর্শে আসি, বড়ো হলে তা ভুলে যাই। দৈবক্রমে কেউ-কেউ বড়ো হয়েও বাল্যের দিব্যদৃষ্টি বজায় রাখেন, এঁরাই সার্থক শিশু-সাহিত্য লিখতে পারেন। লীলা মজুমদারের এই দুর্লভ বাল্যদৃষ্টি আছে। ছেলেমেয়েরা এঁর লেখা পড়ে তৃপ্ত হবে কারণ ইনি তাদের চোখেই দেখেছেন, তাদের ভাষাতেই লিখেছেন। কথাচ্ছলে সদুপদেশ দেবার চেষ্টা করেননি।”

“It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.”
