I was kind of a selfish child, who always wanted things his way, and I've kind of taken that over into my relationship with the world.
Alan Moore
Image
Fairy tales opened up a door into my imagination - they don't conform to the reality that's around you as a child. I started reading when I was three and read everything, but I wanted to be an actress.
Kate Atkinson
Image
Training moments occur when both parents and children do their jobs. The parent's job is to make the rule. The child's job is to break the rule. The parent then corrects and disciplines. The child breaks the rule again, and the parent manages the consequences and empathy that then turn the rule into reality and internal structure for the child.
Henry Cloud
Image
The concentration of a small child at play is analogous to the concentration of the artist of any discipline. In real play, which is real concentration, the child is not only outside time, he is outside himself.
Madeleine L'Engle
Image
I wanted to become a writer. I enjoyed reading as a child.
Goh Chok Tong
Image
A man growing old becomes a child again.
Sophocles
Image
Give your child a single valuable idea, and you have done more for his education than if you had laid upon his mind the burden of bushels of information.
Charlotte Mason
Image
It was inconceivable to me as a child that I would be an adult. I mean, one assumed that it would happen, but obviously it didn't happen, or if it did, it happened when your back was turned, and then suddenly you were there. So I couldn't have thought about it much.
Maurice Sendak
Image
Every child had a pretty good shot, to get at least as far as their old man got. But something happened on the way to that place. They threw an American flag in our face.
Billy Joel
Image
Having to act like an adult because I was directing a big movie but also feeling like a child because we had reindeer and big cameras and they had fake snow. I just wanted to go play in the snow.
Todd Strauss-Schulson
Image
I can't imagine a pain more all-encompassing than losing a child.
Mary Tyler Moore
Image
There are 4 types of relationships. We generally know people who guide and help us like a parent or teacher those who need our wisdom or help like a child or student people with similar knowledge and experience on our life path who want to offer unconditional support and those who do not wish to support us.
John Friend

As a small child me and my pals fantasised about one day owning an ice-cream van. To have ice creams on demand would have been a dream come true.
Erin O'Connor
Image
The Italian comes to his table with the same open heart with which a child falls into his mother's arms, with the same easy feeling of being in the right place.
Marcella Hazan
Image
When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will.
Mary Ruwart
Image
Writing is praying with me. You know a child would look up at every sentence and say, 'And what shall I say next?' That is just what I do I ask Him that at every line He would give me not merely thoughts and power, but also every word, even the very rhymes.
Frances Ridley Havergal
Image
I've found it easier to write, to coalesce my thoughts, since having children. It brings you back to what you experienced yourself as a child, and you empathize with what your parents went through.
Jill Hennessy
Image
Maternal love, like an orange tree, buds and blossoms and bears at once. When a woman puts her finger for the first time into the tiny hand of her baby and feels that helpless clutch which tightens her very heartstrings, she is born again with her newborn child.
Kate Douglas Wiggin
Image
No one's supposed to be the president. This is not England. And it's not just the Bush family, all families designate each child as having some particular trait.
Fran Lebowitz
Image
Shortly after I turned 13, Child Welfare took me into care. I was sent to a residential centre where girls with behavioural problems were 'evaluated'. My time there comes back to me now only in flashes of smells, images and sounds.
Liz Murray

You can break down anything for a child, and you have to know what your child is ready for and what your child is not.
LeVar Burton
Image
It’s not the job of the teacher to save a child’s soul it is the teacher’s job to provide an opportunity for the child to save his own soul.
Rafe Esquith
Image
I am persuaded that 'child abuse' is no exaggeration when used to describe what teachers and priests are doing to children whom they encourage to believe in something like...eternal hell.
Richard Dawkins
Image
If it is true that strength is the child of effort and pain, then most of us will have the opportunity to learn strength. . . . Effort is standing up to the storm. Pain comes from enduring the worst the storm can throw at us. But then so does strength.
Joseph M. Marshall III
