Midnight Children

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or children:

    Later,
    when blood and eggs and breasts
    dropped onto me,
    Daddy and his whiskey breath
    made a long midnight visit
    in a dream that is not a dream....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I doubt that we can ever successfully impose values or attitudes or behaviors on our children—certainly not by threat, guilt, or punishment. But I do believe they can be induced through relationships where parents and children are growing together. Such relationships are, I believe, build on trust, example, talk, and caring.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)
