The ‘absorbent mind’ welcomes everything, puts its hope in everything, accepts poverty equally with wealth, adopts any religion and the prejudices and habits of its countrymen, incarnating all in itself. This is the child!
Maria Montessori
Image
Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?
Colin Powell
Image
As a child, what captivated me was reading the poems myself and realizing that there was a world without material substance which was nevertheless as alive as any other.
Mary Oliver

According to my mother, there pretty much wasn't anything I wouldn't eat as a child.... I was even inclined to dig into stuff about which she expressed open disgust... cheap Chinese food with pepper so hot it made your gums feel like a medieval dentist had been at them.

When I was a child, the Earth was said to be two billion years old. Now scientists say it's four and a half billion. So that makes me two and a half billion.
Paul Erdos

I realized that I'm a child. William looked point-blank at her chest. No.
Ilona Andrews

Let us be the ones who say we do not accept that a child dies every three seconds simply because he does not have the drugs you and I have. Let us be the ones to say we are not satisfied that your place of birth determines your right for life. Let us be outraged let us be loud let us be bold.
Brad Pitt

Adults always wonder what to say and how to say it when they're talking to a child. You want to be wise, but all you are is a child yourself in a larger body. Nothing is ever what it seems. The things that you think you know are never certain. I know that now. I wish that I didn't, but I do.

I’m Norma McCorvey, the former Jane Roe of the Roe vs. Wade decision that brought legal child killing to America. I was persuaded by feminist attorneys to lie to say that I was raped, and needed an abortion. It was all a lie.

The most important influence on a child is the character of its parents, rather than this or that single event.
Erich Fromm
Image
I want to believe in a personal god who looks after me and my loved ones and knows every sparrow that falls. But the suffering of one single child, or more likely, millions is evidence against that belief. The one question I want to ask god: how do you explain or justify the suffering of a child?

To country people Cows are mild, And flee from any stick they throw But I’m a timid town bred child, And all the cattle seem to know.
T. S. Eliot
Image
I don't think that anyone can prepare for raising a child. I think it's one of those jobs that is far more overwhelming than you could ever expect and far more satisfying than you can ever expect.
Lisa Edelstein
Image
After all, despite the economic advantage to firms that employed child labor, it was in the social interest, as a national policy, to abolish it - removing that advantage for all firms.
Barry Commoner

If I'm one that's afflicted with same-gender attraction, I should strive to see myself in a much broader context... seeing myself as a child of God with whatever my talents may be, whether intellect, or music, or athletics, or somebody that has a compassion to help people, to see myself in a larger setting and thus to see my life in that setting.
Lance B. Wickman

After an 18-year career, I left the film industry, not wanting to become one of those child-actor cautionary tales.

There is hardly a more heart-thrilling pleasure enjoyed by mortals, than that which parents feel when seeing their child first being able to 'catch knowledge of objects.
Sarah Josepha Hale
Image
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.
Anne Sullivan Macy
Image
I don’t think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I’ve never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.
Joseph Campbell
Image
Fashion is capitalism's favourite child.
Werner Sombart
Image
When someone grows up in poverty they never know that's going to be a benefit to their child.
"Santiago ""Jimmy"" Mellado"
Image
Every child, everywhere in the whole world there was not one child who was not gravely, sweetly dancing.
Nathanael West
Image
The child endures all things.
Maria Montessori
Image
One of the things my mother taught me when I was a child was just keep your eye on the prize and as long as you feel that you're right with your creator and you're right yourself, then other people's opinions really don't matter.
