“But remember, child, we may all have our own story and destiny, and sometimes our seemingly bad fortune, but we're all part of a greater story too.

“After modernism, things changed. Indeed, modernism sometimes seems to me like an equivalent of the Fall. Remember, the first thing Adam and Eve did when they ate the fruit was to discover that they had no clothes on. They were embarrassed. Embarrassment was the first consequence of the Fall. And embarrassment was the first literary consequence of this modernist discovery of the surface. "Am I telling a story? Oh my God, this is terrible. I must stop telling a story and focus on the minute gradations of consciousness as they filter through somebody's.” FirstsSometimesStoriesSeemsRememberFallConsciousnessFocusMinutesChangedTerribleClothesDiscoveryConsequenceFruitSurfaceAdamEmbarrassedThings ChangeEmbarrassmentModernismFiltersAdam And Eve Author:Philip Pullman
“I don't remember any impression [from blues].The blues was just everywhere in the Mississippi Delta. It was mostly black sharecroppers living there, and there was a lot of blues around.

“Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.” MenWayHumansKindChildrenSometimesRememberSpeakParentNaturalHurtForgetAcceptingMoralWifeForgivenessAskingForgivingEndureYesterdayWeatherArroganceSpiteLastingWillingnessRitualOfferingHumiliationSolemnHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsChildren And Parents Author:Paul Tillich
“Often, when there is a conflict between parent and child, at its very hub is an expectation that the child should be acting differently. Sometimes these expectations run counter what is known about children's growth. They stem from remembering oneself, but usually at a slightly older age.” ShouldChildrenSometimesRunningAgeRememberParentGrowthActingKnownConflictExpectationsOneselfStemChildren And ParentsHub Book:The Six Stages of Parenthood Source: The Six Stages of Parenthood
“Sometimes things just aren't of their time, and they take a minute to catch on, or they find an audience later. Sometimes bizarre little films are the ones that everyone remembers later.

“Adolescents may be, almost simultaneously, overconfident and riddled with fear. They are afraid of their overpowering feelings, oflosing control, of helplessness, of failure. Sometimes they act bold, to counteract their imperious yearnings to remain children. They are impulsive, impetuous, moody, disagreeable, overdemanding, underappreciative. If you don't understand them, remember, they don't understand themselves most of the time.” IfsMayChildrenSometimesFeelingsRememberYearningAdolescenceHelplessnessDisagreeableImpulsiveMoodyOverpoweringOverconfidentImpetuous Author:Stella Chess
