It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

Raising children, god help me, hard hard hard.
All beginnings, are hard.
Rilke said, “that something is difficult must be one more reason for us to do it.”

What’s your motto?
