Quote: Emily Yoffe

"People who have the capacity to ruthlessly maltreat their children tend toward self-justification, not shame." 

I love this, not just because it calls out the sickness of how so many people interact with their children, but also because it highlights this dichotomy between shame and self-justification that pervades our culture.  You should be ashamed for supporting this political candidate's bigotry, but instead, you justify it.  That pretty much describes modern America.
