Wounded Children

Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or children:

    A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
    That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    We are still barely conscious of how harmful it is to treat children in a degrading manner. Treating them with respect and recognizing the consequences of their being humiliated are by no means intellectual matters; otherwise, their importance would long since have been generally recognized.
    Alice Miller (20th century)
