"Why, she asked, pressing her chin on James's head, should they grow up so fast? Why should they go to school? She would have liked always to have had a baby. She was happiest carrying one in her arms. Then people might say she was tyrannical, domineering, masterful, if they chose; she did not mind. And, touching his hair with her lips, she thought, he will never be so happy again... it was true. They were happier now than they would ever be again."
-from "To the Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf
Sorry it's so long, but this is one of my absolute favorite snippets from a literary work :)
