My Children

Famous quotes containing the word children:

    Just as children, step by step, must separate from their parents, we will have to separate from them. And we will probably suffer...from some degree of separation anxiety: because separation ends sweet symbiosis. Because separation reduces our power and control. Because separation makes us feel less needed, less important. And because separation exposes our children to danger.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)

    My father was frightened of his mother. I was frightened of my father and I am damned well going to see to it that my children are frightened of me.
    George V (20th century)
