Infancy Quotes

Antonio Porchia quote: "Infancy is what is eternal, and the rest, all the rest, is..."
Infancy is what is eternal, and the rest, all the rest, is brevity, extreme brevity. Antonio Porchia
Mary Baker Eddy quote: "Lulled by stupefying illusions, the world is asleep in the..."
Lulled by stupefying illusions, the world is asleep in the cradle of infancy, dreaming away the hours. Mary Baker Eddy
For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them. Thomas More
Last night I encountered a dream cat with a very long neck and a body like a human fetus, gray and transluscent. I don't know what it needs or how to provide for it. Another dream years ago of a human child with eyes on stalks. It is very small, but can walk and talk "Don't you want me?" Again, I don't know how to care for the child. But I am dedicated to protecting and nurturing him at any cost! It is the function of the Guardian to protect hybrids and mutants in the vulnerable stage of... William S. Burroughs
I went into the kitchen ten minutes back. The cat was sitting on the mat." Beale's narrative style closely resembled that of a certain book I had read in my infancy. I wish I could remember its title. It was a well-written book. P. G. Wodehouse
There is something so tender about this to me, about being willing to have your makeup wash off, your eyes tear up, your nose start to run. Its tender partly because it harkens back to infancy, to your mother washing your face with love and lots or water, tending to you, making you clean all over again. Anne Lamott
Being surrounded with every conceivable kind of revolt from infancy, Gabriel had to revolt into something, so he revolted into the only thing left-- sanity. Gilbert K. Chesterton
P. D. James quote: "If from infancy you treat children as gods, they are liable in..."
If from infancy you treat children as gods, they are liable in adulthood to act as devils. P. D. James
One must state it plainly. Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than... Christopher Hitchens
Others work among the spirits that have just arrived in the world of spirits. Again others raise the children who have died in infancy. Swedenborg ensures the parents of these infants that 'All children whether born within or outside of the church, are adopted by the Lord and become Angels'. Emanuel Swedenborg
It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives. John Adams
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "My change from girl to boy was far less dramatic than the..."
My change from girl to boy was far less dramatic than the distance anybody travels from infancy to adulthood. Jeffrey Eugenides
The myth is a surviving fragment of the psychic life of the infancy of the race whilst the dream is the myth of the individual. Karl Abraham
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted; it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and... George Santayana
Thomas Hardy quote: "I like reading and all that, but a crave to get back tot he..."
I like reading and all that, but a crave to get back tot he life of my infancy and all its freedom. (Sue Bridehead) Thomas Hardy
