Child Victim Identification

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or victim:

    “The first duty of a state is to see that every child born therein shall be well housed, clothed, fed and educated till it attains years of discretion.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “In this lucid and flexible pattern only one thing remained always stationary, but this fallacy went unnoticed by Martha. The blind spot was the victim. The victim showed no signs of life before being deprived of it. If anything, the corpse which had to be moved and handled before burial seemed more active than its biological predecessor.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
