'I'm not beautiful, I'm pretty!' (Angrily at age 2 and a half. After getting into his sister's toy makeup case and being called beautiful...)

Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put us in an impossible situation.

When you have snowflakes in the clouds in the sky and you have mountains, you get snow. That's how it works.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

'Dank Dank' (Reflecting his inability to accept compliments for several years.)
