Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “There is no end to the violations committed by children on children, quietly talking alone.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “Little children disturb your sleep, big ones your life.”
    —Yiddish proverb.

    “The indispensable ingredient of any game worth its salt is that the children themselves play it and, if not its sole authors, share in its creation. Watching TV’s ersatz battles is not the same thing at all. Children act out their emotions, they don’t talk them out and they don’t watch them out. Their imagination and their muscles need each other.”
    —Leontine Young (20th century)
