War Child

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or child:

    It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him.
    Baudouin I (b. 1930)

    If a child were kept in a place where he never saw any other but black and white till he were a man, he would have no more ideas of scarlet or green, than he that from his childhood never tasted an oyster, or a pineapple, has of those particular relishes.
    John Locke (1632–1704)
