Famous quotes containing the word kids:
“The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasnt, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums Id seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, Id want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.”
—Jill Robinson (b. 1936)
“We have to give ourselvesmen in particularpermission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, I love you, Daddy, or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Womens Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
“Ive noticed over the years that kids who are allowed to be emotionally honest develop a genuineness that more repressed kids dont ever seem to acquire. Their words match their facial expressions. Their actions match their words, and they relate from a position of strength.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
