“People will survive anything for their children.”
“People think that children don't know anything. It's enough to make you wonder if grownups were ever children once upon a time.”
“Maybe there were people out there whose love could survive anything, but mine was fragile. It needed to be nurtured in order to thrive and grow.”
“Grandparenthood is one of life's rewards for surviving your own children.”
“People will buy anything at jumble sales,' I said. 'At the Evacuated Children Charity Fair a woman bought a tree branch that had fallen on the table.”
“When have we required anything of you? Except to survive?”
