Child Quotes (page 32)

And Jakub realized that this child had done no harm, that he was not guilty of anything, and yet had been born with bad eyes and would have them forever. And he reflected further that what he had held against others was something given, something they came into the world with and carried with them like a heavy wire fence. He reflected that he had no privileged right to high-mindedness and that the highest degree of high-mindedness is to love people even though they are murderers. Milan Kundera
We live in the richest country in the world. There's plenty and to spare for no man, woman, or child to be in want. And in addition to this our country was founded on what should have been a great, true principle - the freedom, equality, and rights of each individual. Huh! And what has come of that start? There are corporations worth billions of dollars - and hundreds of thousands of people who don't get to eat. Carson McCullers
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Like the thick quilt I'd played under as a child, the dark..."
Like the thick quilt I'd played under as a child, the dark felt familiar and protecting. Stephenie Meyer
One can tell a child everything, anything. I have often been struck by the fact that parents know their children so little. They should not conceal so much from them. How well even little children understand that their parents conceal things from them, because they consider them too young to understand! Children are capable of giving advice in the most important matters. How can one deceive these dear little birds, when they look at one so sweetly and confidingly? I call them birds because... Fyodor Dostoevsky
When my mother would tell me that she wanted me to have something because she as a child had never had it, I wanted, or I partly wanted, to give it back. All my life I continued to feel that bliss for me would have to imply my mother's deprivation or sacrifice. I don't think it would have occurred to her what a double emotion I felt, and indeed I know that it was being unfair to her, for what she said was simply the truth. Eudora Welty

The creative writer does the same as the child at play; he creates a world of fantasy which he takes very seriously. Sigmund Freud
Mitch Albom quote: "I made the wrong choice ," I whispered. My mother shook her..."
I made the wrong choice ," I whispered. My mother shook her head."A child should never have to choose. Mitch Albom
I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense. Beatrix Potter
The love of a man for his wife, his child, of the land where he lives and works, is for me the real meaning of mystical experience. Edward Abbey

It burned me from within. It quickened; I was with book, as a woman is with child. C. S. Lewis
I insist the world know how much I loved my Lolita, this Lolita, pale and polluted, and big with another's child, but still gray-eyed, still sooty-lashed, still auburn and almond, still Carmencita, still mine; Changeons de vie, ma Carmen, allons vivre quelque part oû nous ne serons jamais sè parè s; Ohio? The wilds of Massachusetts? No matter, even if those eyes of hers would fade to myopic fish, and her nipples swell and crack, and her lovely young... Vladimir Nabokov
imagine thatit were given back to me to bethe child who knew departure would be sweet, the boy who drew square-rigged ships, the girl who knewtruck routes from ottawa to mexico, the me who found a door in latin verseand made a map out of hexameters. Marilyn Hacker
A child her wayward pencil drew. On margins of her book; Garlands of flower, dancing elves, Bud, butterfly, and brook, Lessons undone, and plum forgot, Seeking with hand and heart. The teacher whom she learned to love. Before she knew t'was Art. Louisa May Alcott
It was common enough, to see so much death and want a child. Common, therefore human, and he wanted it all the more. When the wounded were screaming, you dreamed of sharing a little house somewhere, of an ordinary life, a family line, connection. Ian Mcewan
For tea she went down to see Misses Spink and Forcible. She had three digestive biscuits, a glass of limeade, and a cup of weak tea. The limeade was very interesting. It didn't taste anything like limes. It tasted bright green and vaguely chemical. Coraline liked it enormously. She wished they had it at home."How are your dear mother and father?" asked Miss Spink."Missing," said Coraline. "I haven't seen either of them since yesterday. I'm on my own. I think I've probably become a single... Neil Gaiman
