Epigraph (Motto/Zitat) |
Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. The paradise of preambivalent harmony...is unattainable. But the experience of one’s own truth, and the postambivalent knowledge of it, makes it possible to return to one’s own world of feelings at an adult level—without paradise,but with the ability to mourn.
The Drama of the Gifted Child Alice Miller | |

Die Informationen stammen von der englischen "Wissenswertes"-Seite. Ändern, um den Eintrag der eigenen Sprache anzupassen. There are people who have supported me all my life. Without them, this book would not exist and the world would have been a sadder and lonelier place. So thank you Walter Atkinson, Ken Shields, Ron Templeton and the perfectlynamed Molly Loving. And In Memoriam: Mother, Daddy and Julia. Daniel Joslin, Ron Sullivan, Fred White and Tom Lilly. And there were those wonderful people who supported me while I was writing the book. Thank you Mark Drolette, John Schupay, Lee Johnson, Marie Kiene and Kathy Halstead. And Rick, you inspire me every day.
