Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “It’s only too easy to idealise a mother’s job. We know well that every job has its frustrations and its boring routines and its times of being the last thing anyone would choose to do. Well, why shouldn’t the care of babies and children be thought of that way too?”
    —D.W. Winnicott (20th century)

    “Not only is our love for our children sometimes tinged with annoyance, discouragement, and disappointment, the same is true for the love our children feel for us.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “The Americans are the illegitimate children of the English.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
