Children Quotes (page 74)

In spite of Stepan Arkadyevitch's efforts to be an attentive father and husband, he never could keep in his mind that he had a wife and children. Leo Tolstoy
You cannot imagine what sorrow and anger seize one's whole soul when a great idea, which one has long and piously revered, is picked up by some bunglers and dragged into the street, to more fools like themselves, and one suddenly meets it in the flea market, unrecognizable, dirty, askew, absurdly presented, without proportion, without harmony, a toy for stupid children. Fyodor Dostoevsky
It was a grand old house, the Ayemenem House, but aloof-looking. As though it had little to do with the people who lived in it. Like an old man with rheumy eyes watching children play, seeing only transience in their shrill elation and their whole-hearted commitment to life. Arundhati Roy
Even when the east excited me most, even when I was keenly aware of its superiority to the broad, sprawling, swollen towns beyond the Ohio, with their interminable inquisitions which only spared children and the very old-even then it had always for me a quality of distortion. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sometimes I think children are the worst people alive. And even if they're not- even if some smiling toddler is as pure as Evian- it's only a matter of time. Chuck Klosterman

My God, I could raise a family of six children and hold down a full-time job with all the energy I expend on depression! Elizabeth Wurtzel
My instinct was always have your gun in your hand. Especially when you are telling somebody to do something. But, in fact, the police academy discourages this. They feel your gun should rarely, if ever, be brought out of its holster. Most certainly not when children are involved, which is exactly when I saw myself using my gun most often. A truant teenager loitering outside a movie theater is going to be far more motivated to return to school when he has the barrel of a .45 pressed against... Augusten Burroughs
The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions. Karl Marx
I wonder how the foreign policies of the United States would look if we wiped out the national boundaries of the world, at least in our minds, and thought of all children everywhere as our own. Howard Zinn
It was one of those pictures that children are supposed to like but don't. Full of endearing little animals doing endearing things, you know? Douglas Adams
She liked his tears so much that she put out her beautiful finger and let them run over it. Her voice was so low that at first he could not make out what she said. Then he made it out. She was saying that she thought she could get well again if children believed in fairies. J. M. Barrie
Creative scientists and saints expect revelation and do not fear it. Neither do children. But as we grow up and we are hurt, we learned not to trust. Madeleine L'Engle
Louisa May Alcott quote: "Dear me! If only men and women would trust, understand and..."
Dear me! If only men and women would trust, understand and help as my children do, what a capital place `the world would be! Louisa May Alcott
Mark Twain quote: "The most interesting information come from children, for they..."
The most interesting information come from children, for they tell all they know and then stop. Mark Twain
Stephen Colbert quote: "They say the only people who tell the truth are drunkards and..."
They say the only people who tell the truth are drunkards and children. Guess which one I am. Stephen Colbert
