Abused Children

Famous quotes containing the words abused and/or children:

    We have tried so hard to adulterate our hearts, and have so greatly abused the microscope to study the hideous excrescences and shameful warts which cover them and which we take pleasure in magnifying, that it is impossible for us to speak the language of other men.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Learning first occurs as a part of emotional interactions; it involves the split-second initiatives that children take as they try to engage other people, interact with them, communicate and reason with them.
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
