Quotes About Children

We are partners with our children because we are just like them, dearly loved sinners.
~ Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
But Saeed, Saeed, the children are our only hope!
~ Emile Habiby
And, then, if only there were some truth in what the priests say, if only the poor of this world were rich in the next! These words were greeted with a burst of laughter, and even the children shrugged their shoulders, for the hard wind blowing from the outer world had taken away all their belief. They harbored a secret fear of ghosts down in the mine, but scoffed at the empty heavens.
~ Émile Zola
I ran to the children's room: their door was ajar, I saw they had never laid down, though it was past midnight; but they were calmer, and did not need me to console them. The little souls were comforting each other with better thoughts than I could have hit on: no parson in the world ever pictured heaven so beautifully as they did, in their innocent talk; and, while I sobbed, and listened. I could not help wishing we were all there safe together.
~ Emily Bronte
The red firelight glowed on their two bonny heads and revealed their faces, animated with the eager interest of children; for, though he was twenty-three and she eighteen, each had so much of novelty to feel, and learn, that neither experienced nor evinced the sentiments of sober disenchanted maturity.
~ Emily Bronte
B?rni sp?j dzi?i just, bet neizprot savas j?tas; un, ja tie da??ji t?s ar? izprot, tad nevar nek? past?st?t.
~ Emily Bronte
Houses—so the Wise Men tell me— Mansions! Mansions must be warm! Mansions cannot let the tears in, Mansions must exclude the storm! Many Mansions, by his Father, I don't know him; snugly built! Could the Children find the way there— Some, would even trudge tonight!
~ Emily Dickinson
Somebody flings a mattress out, — The children hurry by; They wonder if It died on that
~ Emily Dickinson
Yet here we are, two children and a broken promise later, standing before each other, just the way we stood that day at the alter, with equal parts love and hope. And once again, I close my eyes, ready to take a leap of faith, ready for the long, hard road ahead. I have no idea how it's going to turn out, but then again, I never really did.
~ Emily Giffin
I think my sister Daphne's obsession with having children has a lot to do with wanting to erase the pain my mother caused. On one level, Daphne's approach makes more sense. Yet the thought of a redo is not only unappealing, but terrifying. I don't want that kind of power over anyone. I don't want to be something that someone has to overcome. After all, I think everyone would agree that it's far worse to be a fucked-up mother than it is to have one.
~ Emily Giffin
JeÅ›li najwiÄ™kszÄ… zaletÄ… wczesnego rodzenia dzieci jest to, ?e szybciej masz je z gÅ'owy, a najwiÄ™kszÄ… zaletÄ… pó?nego rodzenia dzieci jest odwleczenie tej mordÄ™gi, to czy? zupeÅ'na rezygnacja z dzieci nie stanowi najlepszego rozwiÄ…zania?
~ Emily Giffin
wasn't so much that I didn't have faith in my team, but that I maintained the truest fans always reverted to a doomsday position in the same way that parents always worried about tragedy befalling their children.
~ Emily Giffin
My little girls are all grown-up. I remember when the three of you were in diapers, running around at the pool with your little orange water wings. And now look at you," my mom says, so nostalgic that she seems to forget all her gripes with Belinda. And me for that matter.
~ Emily Giffin
If I ever wrote a book on divorces, one of my first suggestions to parents would be: Get rid of the second (or third) wife in the background when you're talking to your child—at least some of the time.
~ Emily Giffin
Ronan taught me that children do not exist to honor their parents; their parents exist to honor them. [...] Ronan was mine but he never belonged to me. This is not an issue of ownership. A child is not a couch.
~ Emily Rapp
Also everywhere I'm looking at kids, adults mostly don't seem to like them, not even the parents do. They call the kids gorgeous and so cute, they make the kids do the thing all over again so they can take a photo, but they don't want to actually play with them, they'd rather drink coffee talking to other adults. Sometimes there's a small kid crying and the Ma of it doesn't even hear.
~ Emma Donoghue
I pray for John the Baptist and Baby Jesus to come around for a playdate with Dora and Boots.

Love needs no protection; it is its own protection. So long as love begets life no child is deserted, or hungry, or famished for the want of affection. I know this to be true.
~ Emma Goldman
The train whistled, and chuffed out of the station. The children pressed their noses to the window and watched the dirty houses and the tall chimneys race by. How they hated the town! How lovely it would be to be in the clean country, with flowers growing everywhere, and birds singing in the hedges! Pg 5
