Children transport us to our childhoods.
Children make the best flaneurs, since adults rarely pay attention to them.
You never judge your kids for who they are now. You help them become who they know they can be when they grow up.
When you kill someone, you lose all your leverage the moment they’re dead. Now, you take someone’s children away from them, you’d be amazed what they’d do to get them back.
When I am actually in the presence of children, I forget all about my own concerns. They are the easiest company in the world.
The popular kids are always mean. That’s how they get popular.
Sometimes the best way to protect your children is to let them believe you’ve stopped.[quoting Maghra]
Parents should not bury their children.
Kids are the best.
It’s kids like us who’ve been through more than other kids. We’re tougher than other kids. We’re great builders. We make ourselves really safe. And no one ever gets in.
In this economy, children are lucky to have a job at all.
Children are parasites. Ungrateful. Inconvenient. I had to find someone else to feed mine, or I would have gotten nothing done.
