Scare Children

Famous quotes containing the words scare and/or children:

““Why wouldn’t it scare me to have a fire
Begin in smudge with ropy smoke, and know
That still, if I repent, I may recall it,
But in a moment not: a little spurt
Of burning fatness, and then nothing but
The fire itself can put it out, and that
By burning out....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Our children tremble in their teen-age cribs,
whirling off on a thumb or a motorcycle....”
