Famous quotes containing the words child and/or world:
“Gaining a better understanding of how children’s minds work at different ages will allow you to make more sense of their behaviors. With this understanding come decreased stress and increased pleasure from being a parent. It lessens the frustrations that come from expecting things that a child simply cannot do or from incorrectly interpreting a child’s behavior in adult terms.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“I will try to be non-violent
one more day
this morning, waking the world away
in the violent day.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
