Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “She discovered with great delight that one does not love one’s children just because they are one’s children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.”
    —Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928)

    “Most fathers will admit that having children does not change perceptibly the way they are treated or perceived in the workplace, even if their wives work. Everyone at his workplace assumes that she will take on the responsibilities of the children and the home, even if she too is in the office all day.”
    —Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)

    “Most of us have felt barriers between ourselves and our fathers and had thought that going it alone was part of what it meant to be a man. We tried to get close to our children when we became fathers, and yet the business of practicing masculinity kept getting in the way. We men have begun to talk about that.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)
