Child Quotes (page 54)

All my life, I've been afraid of things, as a child and a woman must be. I lied about it naturally. I fancied myself a witch and walked in dark streets to punish myself for my doubts. But I knew what it meant to be afraid. Anne Rice
She read and read and read, but she was stuffing herself with the letters on the page like an unhappy child stuffing itself with chocolate. They didn’t taste bad, but she was still unhappy. Cornelia Funke
Anything can become a children's book if you give it to a child...Children are actually the best (and worst) audience for literature because they have no patience with pretence. Orson Scott Card
Because God is full of life, I imagine each morning Almighty God says to the sun, "Do it again"; and every evening to the moon and the stars, "Do it again"; and every springtime to the daisies, "Do it again"; and every time a child is born into the world asking for curtain call, that the heart of the God might once more ring out in the heart of the babe. Fulton J. Sheen
I renounce the higher harmony altogether. It's not worth the tears of that one tortured child who... prayed.. with... unexpiated tears to 'dear, kind God! Fyodor Dostoevsky
Like the pain of a bad wound, the effect of a deep shock takes some while to be felt. When a child is told, for the first time in his life, that a person he has known is dead, although he does not disbelieve it, he may well fail to comprehend it and later ask--perhaps more than once--where the dead person is and when he is coming back. Richard Adams
Some logics get nervous breakdowns. Overloaded phone system behaves like frightened child. Mike did not have upsets, acquired sense of humor instead. Low one. If he were a man, you wouldn't dare stoop over. His idea of thigh-slapper would be to dump you out of bed? or put itch powder in pressure suit. Robert A. Heinlein
Try to live with the same intensity as a child. He doesn't ask for explanations; he dives into each day as if it were a new adventure and, at night, sleeps tired and happy. Paulo Coelho
My dear Watson, you as a medical man are continually gaining light as to the tendencies of a child by the study of the parents. Don't you see that the converse is equally valid. I have frequently gained my first real insight into the character of parents by studying their children? Arthur Conan Doyle
Pythagoras quote: "A man is never as big as when he is on his knees to help a child."

The struggle of maturity is to recover the seriousness of a child at play. Friedrich Nietzsche
Washington Irving quote: "The tie which links mother and child is of such pure and..."
The tie which links mother and child is of such pure and immaculate strength as to be never violated. Washington Irving
Dr. Seuss quote: "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book..."
You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child. Dr. Seuss
Where are we?' the mouse child asked his father. His voice was tiny in the stillness of the night. 'I don't know' the father replied. 'What are we Papa?'. 'I don't know. We must wait and see'. Russell Hoban
He said,?Oh god, help her. Damn me, I deserve it, but let her live forever? This was the love he should have felt for every soul in the world: all the fear and the wish to save concentrated unjustly on the one child. He began to weep.... He thought: This is what I should feel all the time for everyone. Graham Greene
