I think I was well brought up, for my father and mother were of one mind regarding the care of the family.

After the break up of the municipality and the loss of his income my father lost health and spirits.

Probably my mother's life was prolonged beyond that of a long-lived family by her coming to Australia in middle life; and if I ever had any tendency to consumption, the climate must have helped me.

My parents were divorced when I was young. I was really brought up by my mother's side of the family.

As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.

I think that all of us are 5-year-olds and we don't want to be embarrassed in the schoolyard.
