I do think all good and evil comes from words. I have to tune myself into a good temper with something musical, and I run to a book as a child to its mother.
Virginia Woolf
Image
No politician is threatened by the child protective constituency, because it does not exist.
Andrew Vachss
Image
When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I felt like all of the work was training for just one central idea: Accept your child for who he is. I'm not saying that I've done a brilliant job with that. But I've done my best.
Andrew Solomon

It's important, according to me, to train in small doses so as to not lose the joy of playing chess. I personally think too many coaching and training classes may take away a child's interest in the game itself. The essential thing to do is practise often and, in case of a doubt, to consult a trainer.
Viswanathan Anand
Image
Could there be irony crueler than this? How, upon his rescue, the truth had brought him here, to a house for the mad, for only a madman believes what every child knows to be true: There are monsters that lie in wait under our beds.
Rick Yancey

The mind of a child is where the Revolution begins.
Immortal Technique

What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.
Vivienne Westwood

I've always felt heroic about my life... As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn't think that was the case at all. My parents didn't treat me as a girl.
Vivienne Westwood

We are so addicted, either to materialism or to transcending material reality, that we don’t see God right in front of us, in the beggar, the starving child, the brokenhearted woman in our friend in the cat in the flea. We miss it, and in missing it, we allow the world to be destroyed.
Andrew Harvey

I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
I believe the poor fierce-eyed child had figured out that with a mere fifty dollars in her purse she might somehow reach Broadway or Hollywood - or the foul kitchen of a diner (Help Wanted) in a dismal ex-prairie state, with the wind blowing, and the stars blinking, and the cars, and the bars, and the barmen, and everything soiled, torn, dead.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Make this the golden rule, the equivalent of the Hippocratic oath: Everything we ask a child to do should be worth doing.
Philip Pullman
Image
Sometimes adults seem as though they have cut a chord from being a child.
Roddy Doyle

There is nothing more atrociously cruel than an adored child.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
As the child approaches a new text he is entitled to an introduction so that when he reads, the gist of the... story can provide some guide for a fluent reading.
Marie Clay
Image
It is wrong to bear children out of need, wrong to use a child to alleviate loneliness, wrong to provide purpose in life by reproducing another copy of oneself. It is wrong also to seek immortality by spewing one's germ into the future as though sperm contains your consciousness!
Irvin D. Yalom
Image
Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I was a monster, a problem child.
Shaun White
Image
My life would be a reflection of my childhood, but it isn't it is a reflection of the dreams that I had as a child for a better life.
Andrea Navedo
Image
Undernourished, intelligence becomes like the bloated belly of a starving child: swollen, filled with nothing the body can use.
