Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “Young women especially have something invested in being nice people, and it’s only when you have children that you realise you’re not a nice person at all, but generally a selfish bully.”
    —Fay Weldon (b. 1933)

    “It is indeed typical that you Earth people refuse to believe in the superiority of any world but your own. Children looking into a magnifying glass, imagining the image you see is the image of your true size.”
    —Franklin Coen. Joseph Newman. The Monitor (Douglas Spencer)

    “It is easy to lose confidence in our natural ability to raise children. The true techniques for raising children are simple: Be with them, play with them, talk to them. You are not squandering their time no matter what the latest child development books say about “purposeful play” and “cognitive learning skills.””
    —Neil Kurshan (20th century)
