Famous quotes containing the words war and/or child:
“Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“Parents must not only have certain ways of guiding by prohibition and permission; they must also be able to represent to the child a deep, an almost somatic conviction that there is a meaning to what they are doing. Ultimately, children become neurotic not from frustrations, but from the lack or loss of societal meaning in these frustrations.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
