Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Live free, child of the mist,—and with respect to knowledge we are all children of the mist.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Ladies and gentlemen are supposed to be looked after by others, like children and pets.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Having children can smooth the relationship, too. Mother and daughter are now equals. That is hard to imagine, even harder to accept, for among other things, it means realizing that your own mother felt this way, too—unsure of herself, weak in the knees, terrified about what in the world to do with you. It means accepting that she was tired, inept, sometimes stupid; that she, too, sat in the dark at 2:00 A.M. with a child shrieking across the hall and no clue to the child’s trouble.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
