Children Quotes (page 93)

when we were children we used to think that when we grew up we would no longer be vulnerable, but to grow up is to except vulnerability. to be alive is to be vulnerable. Madeleine L'Engle
Obedience allows God’s blessings to flow without constraint. He will bless His obedient children with freedom from bondage and misery. And He will bless them with more light. Russell M. Nelson
I had never thought I had much in common with anybody. I had no mother, no father, no roots, no biological similarities called sisters and brothers. And for a future I didn't want a split-level home with a station wagon, pastel refrigerator, and a houseful of blonde children evenly spaced through the years. I didn't want to walk into the pages of McCall's magazine and become the model housewife. I didn't even want a husband or any man for that matter. I wanted to go my own way. That's all I... Rita Mae Brown
Marie, now Mme. Driscoll, turned to Berthe and smiled, as she used to when they were children. Once again, the smile said, Have I done the right thing? Is this what you wanted? Yes, yes, said Berthe silently, but she went on crying. Mavis Gallant

Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "He could not pass by children without his soul being shaken:..."
He could not pass by children without his soul being shaken: such is the man. Fyodor Dostoevsky
You - will - never - touch - our - children - again!' screamed Mrs. Weasley. Bellatrix laughed, the same exhilarated laugh her cousin Sirius had given as he toppled backwards through the veil, and suddenly Harry knew what was going to happen before it did. Molly's curse soared beneath Bellatrix's outstretched arm and hit her squarely in the chest, directly over her heart. Bellatrix's gloating smile froze, her eyes seemed to bulge: for the tiniest space of time she knew what had happened, and... J. K. Rowling
David Lodge quote: "Literature is mostly about having sex and not having children...."
Literature is mostly about having sex and not having children. Life is the other way around David Lodge

Of course, there's sometimes a reason to have a 'real' quarrel, but the verbal exchanges that take place here are just plain bickering. I should be used to the fact that these squabbles are daily occurrences, but I'm not and never will be as long as I'm the subject of nearly every discussion. (They refer to these as 'discussions instead of 'quarrels', but Germans don't know the difference!) Anne Frank
Cotton Mather quote: "Ah, children, be afraid of going prayerless to bed, lest the..."
Ah, children, be afraid of going prayerless to bed, lest the Devil be your bedfellow. Cotton Mather
Human passions have mysterious ways, in children as well as grown-ups. Those affected by them can’t explain them, and those who haven’t known them have no understanding of them at all. Michael Ende
