Women are conservative – despite what current ideology says." ― Doris Lessing Topic(s): Women More From Doris Lessing "We use our parents like recurring dreams, to be entered into when needed." "I think kids ought to travel. I think it’s very good to carry kids around. It’s good for them. Of course it’s tough on the parents." "When you’re young you think that you’re going to sail into a lovely lake of quietude and peace. This is profoundly untrue."
