TV series: The Republic of Sarah

Most people, when they screw up, the first thing they do is fear how it will affect their lives. But this is not the case with parents. We just close our eyes, fold our hands and pray that the fire that has begun will not touch you. Especially those who start the fire themselves.

People have infinitely many secrets.

The night I left Greylock, I had a fight with my mother. The quarrel was just awful. She ... She hit me in the face, insulted and ... And for the first time in my life, I raised my hand to fight back. But before I hit, I stopped, saw my reflection in the glass over her shoulder. I saw that I was ready to hit, ready to hit her, kick her. And then I realized that my mother's cruelty is also in me. I packed my backpack and left then. And I didn’t call, knowing that I’ll call and you want to go with me, but I couldn’t allow it, I had to protect you from myself. I'm sorry to hurt you, but I did it to protect you, just as you protected me.

- From the very beginning. How Patience got sick.

I didn't need homemade pancakes and hikes and ... You know what the fathers do there. I don't even know ... I would just be there.

No one leaves a loved one without a good reason.

Having children is not equal to being a parent.

Don't worry about what others think. The main thing is what you think.

Feelings cannot be controlled, but actions can be controlled.
