Child Victim Identification

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or victim:

    “My demon,
    too often undressed,
    too often a crucifix I bring forth,
    too often a dead daisy I give water to
    too often the child I give birth to
    and then abort....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “In this lucid and flexible pattern only one thing remained always stationary, but this fallacy went unnoticed by Martha. The blind spot was the victim. The victim showed no signs of life before being deprived of it. If anything, the corpse which had to be moved and handled before burial seemed more active than its biological predecessor.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
