Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville—Mighty Casey has struck
out.”
—Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)
“Clara: I don’t think a mother should depend so much upon her children for her rewards in life.
Mrs. Pilletti: Well, that’s what they teach you in New York University. It real life, it no work out like this.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
