Ragged Child

Famous quotes containing the words ragged and/or child:

    He had ragged long grass-coloured hair;
    He had knees that stuck out of his hose;
    He had puddle-water in his shoes;
    He had half a cloak to keep him dry,
    Although he had a squirrel’s eye.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Because it’s not only that a child is inseparable from the family in which he lives, but that the lives of families are determined by the community in which they live and the cultural tradition from which they come.
    Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
