Women Children

Famous quotes containing the words women and/or children:

“It is certainly not new or startling to find that women feel the desire to take care of their children. What is new is the number of women who are startled by such feelings.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)

“My children have taught me things. Things I thought I knew. The most profound wisdom they have given me is a respect for human vulnerability. I have known that people are resilient, but I didn’t appreciate how fragile they are. Until children learn to hide their feelings, you read them in their faces, gestures, and postures. The sheer visibility of shyness, pain, and rejection let me recognize and remember them.”
—Shirley Nelson Garner (20th century)
