Children Books

Famous quotes containing the words children and/or books:

    Every milestone of a firstborn is scrutinized, photographed, recorded, replayed, and retold by doting parents to admiring relatives and disinterested friends. . . . While subsequent children will strive to keep pace with siblings a few years their senior, the firstborn will always have a seemingly Herculean task of emulating his adult parents.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)

    My only books Were woman’s looks And folly’s all they taught me.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
