Wounded Children

Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or children:

    Nature herself her shape admires;
    The gods are wounded in her sight;
    And Love forsakes his heavenly fires
    And at her eyes his brand doth light:
    Heigh ho, would she were mine!
    Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    Some fear that if parents start listening to their own wants and needs they will neglect their children. It is our belief that children are in fact far less likely to be neglected when their parents’ needs—for support, for friendship, for decent work, for health care, for learning, for play, for time alone—are being met.
    —Wendy Coppedge Sanford. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, introduction (1978)
