Child Quotes (page 20)

He said to himself, that this child had a right to know life before renouncing it, that to deprive her in advance, and in some sort without consulting her, of all joys, under the pretext of saving her from all trials, to take advantage of her ignorance of her isolation, in order to make an artificial vocation germinate in her, was to rob a human creature of its nature and to lie to God. Victor Hugo
In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again. James Agee
Yasunari Kawabata quote: "A child walked by, rolling a metal hoop that made a sound of..."
A child walked by, rolling a metal hoop that made a sound of autumn. Yasunari Kawabata
An admiral without ships, a hand without fingers, in service of a king without a throne. Is this a knight who comes before us, or the answer to a child's riddle? George R. R. Martin
We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow,’ his name is today. Gabriela Mistral
There is no mode of action, no form of emotion, that we do not share with the lower animals. It is only by language that we rise above them, or above each other - by language, which is the parent, and not the child, of thought. Oscar Wilde
Margaret Fuller quote: "What a difference it makes to come home to a child!"
What a difference it makes to come home to a child! Margaret Fuller
The explanation of evil is a hell of a lot more disappointing than that. It's blunders, people making blunders, whether it's raiding a village and killing all the inhabitants, or killing a child in a fit of rage. Mistakes. Everything is simply a matter of mistakes. Anne Rice
the child would ask him questions about the world that for him was not even a memory. He thought hard how to answer. There is no past. Cormac McCarthy
Heraclitus quote: "The Aeon is a child at play with colored..."
The Aeon is a child at play with colored balls.(translation/paraphrase: Terence McKenna) Heraclitus
The youngest child in any family is always a jokemaker, because a joke is the only way he can enter into an adult conversation. Kurt Vonnegut
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. C. S. Lewis
Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies? the pain of the leaving can tear us apart. Still, if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of... Henri Nouwen
It was a hairline crack, one might never have noticed, except for the fact it grew wider and wider, until there was a canyon between them. A child's job, ostensibly, was to grow up. So why, when it happened, did a parent feel so disappointed? Jodi Picoult
Orson Scott Card quote: "The most noble title any child can have, Demosthenes wrote, is..."
The most noble title any child can have, Demosthenes wrote, is third. Orson Scott Card
