I only hope that one day I can frighten my daughter this much. Right now, she's not scared of my husband or me at all. I think it's a problem.

I feel like my daughter will be doing that to me by age six. Tina Fey
What is true about a person? Would I change in the same way the river changes color but still be the same person?... And then I realized it was the first time I could see the power of the wind.

Dustfinger still clearly remembered the feeling of being in love for the first time. How vulnerable his heart had suddenly been! Such a trembling, quivering thing, happy and miserably unhappy at once. Cornelia Funke
her heart swelled up with misery, until it felt too large for her bosom. It beat with odd little jerks; her hands were cold, and a feeling of disaster oppressed her. There were pain and bewilderment in her face, the bewilderment of a pampered chhild who has always had her own way for the asking and who now, for the first time, was in contact with the unplesantness of life. Margaret Mitchell
We must not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time. T. S. Eliot
