Famous quotes containing the words adopted and/or child:
“Although all new ideas are born in France, they are not readily adopted there. It seems that they must first commence to prosper in a foreign country.”

“Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
Against whose portal she hath thrown,
In childhood, many an idle stone—
Some tomb from out whose sounding door
She ne’er shall force an echo more,
Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
It was the dead who groaned within.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
