“If you raise children, you forget what age they are. I mean you don't literally forget, but you treat a 13-year-old like she's 10 and there's a big difference in those three years and they can't stand it. They want to be treated like they're 17 when they're 13. And sometimes you can't help thinking of them as if they were 10 or 10 months old because it's all so recent. So we do overprotect sometimes.” IfsThinkingWantYearsMeanChildrenSometimesHelpingBigsAgeThreeDifferencesForgetMonthsTreatsRaisesTreatedThree Years Author:Meryl Streep

“Rearing three children is like growing a cactus, a gardenia, and a tubful of impatiens. Each needs varying amounts of water, sunlight and pruning. Were I to be absolutely fair, I would have to treat each child as if he or she were absolutely identical to the other siblings, and there would be no profit for anyone in that.” IfsNeedsChildrenWould BeThreeWaterGrowingAmountFairsTreatsProfitSunlightSiblingIdenticalCactusPruning Author:Phyllis Grissim-Theroux

“I'm criticizing the way they are perceived. I was going through a book of Marina Abramovic and Ulay's 1970s performance work the other day. These people did two, even three Documentas or Venice Biennales over the course of a decade without any fuss. They would just treat it as any of their other engagements, with the same level of dignity and commitment they'd reserve for a one-day event in a small gallery on the Austrian mountains.” PeopleWayTwoBookThreeCoursesLevelsEventsOne DayMountainCommitmentDignityPerformancesTreatsDecadesCriticizeEngagementReservesGalleryVenice Author:Maurizio Cattelan
“Mom used to walk with me for something like two or three miles to get to the day-old bakery.

“There are three musts that hold us back: "I must do well. You must treat me well. And the world must be easy." And I sometimes think that as long as we keep the second must, which is socially learned, then some screwballs 100 years from now will manufacture atomic bombs in their bathtub and maybe annihilate the whole human race because they demand that the rest of the world must agree with their dogmas.

He treats her cruelly, then goes home for three years, during which time she prays to his picture and turns down marriage from a young Kennedy.
