“What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was.

—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
