"He said to me, 'You know how distressed small children get if they're lost and can't find their mother and how they keep on searching? Well, I suspect it's the same feeling that adults have when a loved one dies, they keep on searching too. I think ti's the same instinct that starts in infancy and evolves throughout life as people grow up, and becomes part of adult love.'"
- John Bowlby to his son. Quoted in the forward to The Making and Breaking of Affectional Bonds, p.vii
