"The honeymoon is not actually over until we cease to stifle our sighs and begin to stifle our yawns."

Previous Quote

With no banal reassuring grown-ups present, with grown-up intervention taken away, there is no limit to the terror strange children feel of each other, a terror life obscures but never ceases to justify. There is no end to the violations committed by children on children, quietly talking alone.

— Elizabeth Bowen
