Children Quotes (page 79)

Old people, who have felt blows and toil and known the world's hard hand, need, even more than children do, a woman's tenderness. Willa Cather
Offer it up personally, then. Right now. I thought of how many people go to their graves unforgiven and unforgiving. I thought of how many people have had siblings or friends or children or lovers disappear from their lives before precious words of clemency or absolution could be passed along. How do the survivors of terminated relationships ever endure the pain of unfinished business? From that place of meditation, I found the answer-you can finish the business yourself, from within... Elizabeth Gilbert
There are some themes, some subjects, too large for adult fiction; they can only be dealt with adequately in a children's book. Philip Pullman
They were not bound to regard with affection a thing that could not sympathise with one amongst them; a heterogeneous thing, opposed to them in temperament, in capacity, in propensities; a useless thing, incapable of serving their interest, or adding to their pleasure; a noxious thing, cherishing the germs of indignation at their treatment, of contempt of their judgment. I know that had I been a sanguine, brilliant, careless, exacting, handsome, romping child—though equally dependent and... Charlotte Bronte
She looked out the window; in her eyes was the light that you see only in children arriving at a new place, or in young people still open to new influences, still curious about the world because they have not yet been scarred by life. Orhan Pamuk
If women had power, what would men be but women who can't bear children? And what would women be but men who can?...I mean, men give her [a queen] power. They let her use their power. But it isn't hers, is it? It isn't because she's a woman that she's powerful, but despite it. Ursula K. Le Guin
Christopher Hitchens quote: "To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women..."
To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world? Christopher Hitchens
The type of the Inevitable is death. I remember well that in my youth I believed that I was certainly exempt from its operation. First when my daughter died, next when you were wounded, I knew that I was mortal; and now I regard those years as wasted, as unproductive, in which I was not aware that my death was certain, nay, momently possible. I can now appraise at a glance those who have not yet foreseen their death. I know them for the children they are. They think that by evading its... Thornton Wilder
Gabrielle: When I was a little girl, on Sunday mornings, if I'd been good, I was allowed to feed the giraffes. Richard: Giraffes! Don't tell me that you had giraffes too? Gabrielle: You mean you... Richard: But of course we did Gabrielle: Oh what fun. Both of us having had giraffes as children. George Axelrod
Keepers of private notebooks are a different breed altogether, lonely and resistant rearrangers of things, anxious malcontents, children afflicted apparently at birth with some presentiment of loss. Joan Didion
And in his heart, I think, he’s now learned what I’ve come to believe, which is, as I’ve said all along, that the sun may burn brightly and the faces of children may be achingly sweet, but in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and the food we share, there will always be darkness in the world. Doug Coupland
Temple Grandin quote: "The worst thing you can do is nothing. (re: teaching children..."
The worst thing you can do is nothing. (re: teaching children with autism) Temple Grandin
Anne Frank quote: "Parents can only advise their children or point them in the..."
Parents can only advise their children or point them in the right direction. Ultimately people shape their own characters. Anne Frank
Daniel Defoe quote: "For now I had five children by him: the only work perhaps that..."
...For now I had five children by him: the only work perhaps that fools are good for. Daniel Defoe
How Tyler saw it was that getting God's attention for being bad was better than getting no attention at all. Maybe God's hate is better than His indifference. If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose? We are God's middle children, according to Tyler Durden, with no special place in history and no special attention. Unless we get God's attention, we have no hope of damnation or redemption. Which is worse, hell or nothing? Only if we're caught and... Chuck Palahniuk
