- Alexios (1337–c. 1349)

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Clara: I don’t think a mother should depend so much upon her children for her rewards in life.
Mrs. Pilletti: Well, that’s what they teach you in New York University. It real life, it no work out like this.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
“... married women work and neglect their children because the duties of the homemaker become so depreciated that women feel compelled to take a job in order to hold the respect of the community. It is one thing if women work, as many of them must, to help support the family. It is quite another thing—it is destructive of woman’s freedom—if society forces her out of the home and into the labor market in order that she may respect herself and gain the respect of others.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“Ladies and gentlemen are supposed to be looked after by others, like children and pets.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
