Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.  

I cannot bear a parent’s tears.

Mother died today. Or maybe it was yesterday, I don’t know. 

In peace, children inter their parents; war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.

My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.
