“Watching your daughter being collected by her date feels like handing over a million dollar Stradivarius to a gorilla.”

“Truth was the only daughter of Time.”

“It's not always easy being her daughter.'

“There is a certain justice in criticism. The critic is like a midwife — a tyrannical midwife.”

To shame someone is to use the natural biological affective reaction of shame as a tool for manipulating and controlling someone to suit your own interests.”
