Wounded Children

Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or children:

    But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
    And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
    Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
    Or smote upon the string and to the sound
    Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    She discovered with great delight that one does not love one’s children just because they are one’s children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.
    —Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928)
