  • Despite what their parents had been telling them from the very outset of their lives, they were not significant. Significance has to be earned, and it is earned only through achievement. Besides, one of the first things that people who really are significant seem to know is that, in the grander scheme, they are themselves really quite insignificant.
  • Raising and teaching my children is important work, but it is not my only work. "Mother" is not even among the first fistful of words in my working definition of self. How could it be? Long before I became a mother, I was just me.
