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)

    “When children are treated with respect, they conclude that they deserve respect and hence develop self-respect. When children are treated with acceptance, they develop self-acceptance; when they are cherished, they conclude that they deserve to be loved, and they develop self-esteem.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)
