Child Left

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or left:

“There must be a solemn and terrible aloneness that comes over the child as he takes those first independent steps. All this is lost to memory and we can only reconstruct it through analogies in later life....To the child who takes his first steps and finds himself walking alone, this moment must bring the first sharp sense of the uniqueness and separateness of his body and his person, the discovery of the solitary self.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

“Democracy don’t rule the world,
You’d better get that in your head;
This world is ruled by violence
But I guess that’s better left unsaid.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
