American Children

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or children:

“The U.S. is becoming an increasingly fatherless society. A generation ago, an American child could reasonably expect to grow up with his or her father. Today an American child can reasonably expect not to. Fatherlessness is now approaching a rough parity with fatherhood as a defining feature of American childhood.”
—David Blankenhorn (20th century)

“My father was frightened of his mother. I was frightened of my father and I am damned well going to see to it that my children are frightened of me.”
—George V (20th century)
