I had a few problems. I didn't realise it until I started going to therapy.

I knew I was different. That made me very fragile.

Michael Vick may enjoy watching dogs fight.

Making children cry for a photographer can be considered mean. But I would say that making children laugh and show off their jeans for an apparel ad is just as exploitative and less natural. Toddlers' natural state, like, 30 percent of the time, is crying, and it doesn't indicate pain or suffering.
- Jill Greenberg
#Suffering
I have two children of my own. Crying is not evidence of pain or any real suffering. It's really just the way children communicate.

One way to make a baby cry is to expose it to cries of other babies. There's sort of contagiousness to the crying. It's not just crying.

- Fred Thompson

Don't bother taking on parenthood if you can't handle the fact that sometimes your child's identity won't be what you would have chosen. And if you want to prevent a child from ever suffering? Well, then don't have a child. No one is born into the world never to suffer.
- Alice Dreger
#Suffering
'The Big Girls' has always seemed to me to be a story about different kinds of families - a divorced mother with a child; a father with his child and his girlfriend; a mother of three children, suffering from postpartum depression; and the rigid artificial families maintained by women in prison - all potentially perilous.
- Susanna Moore
