The primary purpose of adoption is to provide a home for a child, not a child for a home.
Virginia Linder
Image
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.
Virginia Satir
Image
Rearing a family is probably the most difficult job in the world. It resembles two business firms merging their respective resources to make a single product. All the potential headaches of that operation are present when an adult male and an adult female join to steer a child from infancy to adulthood.
Virginia Satir
Image
I think when you're a child, you just cling to the basics, which is the basic story of Jesus and the crucifixion and hell and eternal punishment and the flames. This was all stuff that was - forget when you're young.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
The taste for books was an early one. As a child he was sometimes found at midnight by a page still reading. They took his taper away, and he bred glow-worms to serve his purpose. They took the glow-worms away and he almost burnt the house down with a tinder.
Virginia Woolf
Image
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
Image
The mind of a child is where the Revolution begins.
Immortal Technique
Image
What I remember as a child is that other kids didn't care about suffering. I always did.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When I was a child I liked the games of Capablanca, and later I was captivated by Alekhine's play.
Vladimir Kramnik
Image
Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
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.
