Children Born

Famous quotes containing the words children and/or born:

“See, in the Navy, during the war, I got used to the idea that something might happen to me, I might not make it. Well, I also got used to the idea that my wife and children were safe at home, they’d be all right no matter what. But what I didn’t reckon with was that in this, this kind of a monstrous war, something might happen to them, and not to me. Well it did, and I can’t, I can’t cope with it.”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)

“We are all of us born in moral stupidity, taking the world as an udder to feed our supreme selves ...”
