Children Quotes

I did not know that children think the hard questions they ask are easy and thus expect easy answers to them, and that they are disappointed when they get cautious, complex answers Picture Quote #1

Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and reality. You will be better off. Then they will leave. You’ll miss them forever Picture Quote #1

I cry. Evil dissolves, and love, like foam; that love. Prattle of children powers me home, my heart claps like the swan’s under a frenzy of who love me and who shine Picture Quote #1

Conversing with children is a fine art... An art form that demands large amounts of both honesty and misdirection. Or maybe discretion is a better word Picture Quote #1

I’ve always said that you were too smart to have a profession. Smart people are hopeless in the face of anything actual. They are terrible cooks. They cannot dress themselves. They are children who need guidance and protecting Picture Quote #1

The conclusion I have reached is that, above all, dogs are witnesses. They are allowed access to our most private moments. They are there when we think we are alone. Think of what they could tell us. They sit on the laps of presidents. They see acts of love and violence, quarrels and feuds, and the secret play of children. If they could tell us everything they have seen, all of the gaps of our lives would stitch themselves together Picture Quote #1

You know, you hear about these movements for women, and for children, and for people who are any race but white, and you think that it’s about time that men got a movement. Think about it. Guys can’t play the piano, or dance, or sing. We can’t cry, or be too happy, or show any emotion for that matter. The only thing we have left to us is anger, and even that we have to bottle up. Boys should be able to express what they feel and not have to endure people laughing at them, forcing them to wonder if they’re gay or not, just because they like to paint Picture Quote #1

Cats are there to be indulged. That’s their function: to receive the love we never fully gave our parents. Not like dogs. Dogs are there to give us the love and devotion our children will never fully give us Picture Quote #1

You write not for children but for yourself. And if by good fortune children enjoy what you enjoy, why then you are a writer of children’s books Picture Quote #1

The mind, placed before any kind of difficulty, can find an ideal outlet in the absurd. Accommodation to the absurd readmits adults to the mysterious realm inhabited by children Picture Quote #1

I have been criticized throughout the course of my career for placing too much faith in the reliability of children’s narratives; but I have almost always found that children are a great deal more reliable in telling us what actually goes on in public school than many of the adult experts who develop policies that shape their destinies Picture Quote #1

There are many, many difficult times, God knows. If a person wants to stand on her own two feet, I recommend undertaking the care and feeding of something. It could be children, or it could be house plants, you know? By doing that you come to understand your own limitations. That’s where it starts Picture Quote #1

Progress does not have to be patented to be worthwhile. Progress can also be measured by our interactions with nature and its preservation. Can we teach children to look at a flower and see all the things it represents: beauty, the health of an ecosystem, and the potential for healing? Picture Quote #1

I wonder if children don’t begin to reject both poetry and religion for similar reasons, because the way both are taught takes the life out of them Picture Quote #1

Not that she’s a political animal, she’s just an ordinary woman, but as a woman she’s of the view that you don’t bring children into the world to have them shot Picture Quote #1

Talent must be a fanatical mistress. She’s beautiful; when you’re with her, people watch you, they notice. But she bangs on your door at odd hours, and she disappears for long stretches, and she has no patience for the rest of your existence; your wife, your children, your friends. She is the most thrilling evening of your week, but some day she will leave you for good. One night, after she’s been gone for years, you will see her on the arm of a younger man, and she will pretend not to recognize you Picture Quote #1

Norah looked at her son’s tiny face, surprised, as always, by his name. he had not grown into it yet, he still wore it like a wrist band, something that might easily slip off and disappear. She had read about people – where? she could not remember this either – who refused to name their children for several weeks, feeling them to be not yet of the earth, suspended still between two worlds Picture Quote #1

You can’t teach children to be good. The best you can do for your child is to live a good life yourself. What a parent knows and believes, the child will lean on Picture Quote #1

One day humanity will play with law just as children play with disused objects, not in order to restore them to their canonical use but to free them from it for good Picture Quote #1

Any civilization where the main symbol of religious veneration is a tool of execution is a bad place to have children Picture Quote #1

Children, like animals use all their senses to discover the world. Then artists come along and discover it the same way... Or now and then we’ll hear from an artisit who’s never lost it Picture Quote #1

He would talk to them of stories and books, and explain to them how stories wanted to be told and books wanted to be read, and how everything that they ever needed to know about life and the land of which he wrote, or about any land or realm that they could imagine, was contained in books. And some of the children understood, and some did not Picture Quote #1

They played at hearts as other children might play at ball; only, as it was really their two hearts that they flung to and fro, they had to be very, very handy to catch them, each time, without hurting them Picture Quote #1

If getting our kids out into nature is a search for perfection, or is one more chore, then the belief in perfection and the chore defeats the joy. It’s a good thing to learn more about nature in order to share this knowledge with children; it’s even better if the adult and child learn about nature together. And it’s a lot more fun Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

She couldn’t tell where his pupils ended and the irises began; looking into those eyes was like looking into a well where children had drowned Picture Quote #1

Bad dogs, she believed, were like most bad children: created by those around them. But then, that was a personal opinion Picture Quote #1

People aim for the stars, and they end up like goldfish in a bowl. I wonder if it wouldn’t be simpler just to teach children right from the start that life is absurd Picture Quote #1

A person’s got to think, otherwise that person’s no better than a trained seal balancing a ball on his nose. If only that seal could think, he’d know he was making a thousand children laugh Picture Quote #1

The reasonableness of the command to obey parents is clear to children, even when quite young Picture Quote #1
