One of the most terrible moments in a boy's life ... is when he discovers his father and mother are human… — Frank Herbert

One of the most terrible moments in a boy's life ... is when he discovers his father and mother are human beings who share a love that he can never quite taste. It's a loss, an awakening to the fact that the world is there and here and we are in it alone. The moment carries its own truth; you can't evade it.
