Innocent

Famous quotes containing the word innocent:

“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs,
Thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Children must be protected not because they are innocent but because they are powerless.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
