'...I have seen enough examples of this egotism in parents who, themselves emotionally or morally immature, vent their own insecurity upon their children in sulks or rages or less unsubtle manifestations of the craving for power, to feel amazed that the young ever emerge unwarped from the family circle which too often, beneath its surface, is a vicious one.'
from The Buried Day by C. Day Lewis (Part Two, Chapter 7)
