6 " Imagine the infant who one day cries and gets fed, and the next day cries and goes hungry. One day smiles and is kissed and hugged. The next day smiles and is ignored. This is what psychologists called 'preoccupied or unresolved attachment' with the primary caregiver--usually the mother. There was love one minute and disdain the next. Affection that was given in abundance for no reason and then taken away without cause. The child has no ability to predict or influence the behavior of the parent. The narcissist loves a child only as an extension of herself at first, and then as a loyal subject. So she will tend to the child only when it makes her feel good. "

16 " Tengo muy claro que los hombres tienen una responsabilidad, y que es necesario que se den cuenta de que en cuestiones sexuales no estamos en igualdad de condiciones. Y no solo por fisiología. Por psicología también, porque las chicas todavía se sienten presionadas a hacer cosas que no quieren, y los chicos, los hombres, entienden muy poco cómo lo viven ellas "
17 " el brusco despertar no fue lo que ella había dicho, sino la constatación de que los adultos pueden equivocarse, pueden ser estúpidos, ineptos y holgazanes en su labor, y que no siempre te creen aunque les estés contando la verdad.
