“Cutting people out of your life is easy, keeping them in is hard.”
“Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them.”
“I did not know that children think the hard questions they ask are easy and thus expect easy answers to them, and that they are disappointed when they get cautious, complex answers.”
“It is easy to love people in memory; the hard thing is to love them when they are there in front of you.”
“Keeping children secure and comfortable at night contributes toward a lifetime of easy sleep for them, an objective worthy of the weariness you may feel now.”
