No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.

You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have for instance.

I want to have children but my friends scare me. One of my friends told me she was in labor for 36 hours. I don't even want to do anything that feels good for 36 hours.

The well-being and welfare of children should always be our focus.

Having children is like having a bowling alley installed in your brain.

Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us hovering averting our eyes and they seldom offer thanks but what we do for them is never wasted.

Life has loveliness to sell all beautiful and splendid things blue waves whitened on a cliff soaring fire that sways and sings and children's faces looking up holding wonder like a cup.

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.

But for the children of the poorest people we're stripping the curriculum removing the arts and music and drilling the children into useful labor. We're not valuing a child for the time in which she actually is a child.
