Send forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You must never lose that touch of childishness. You need it if you wish to write for children, if you wish to understand the heart of a child. Children are good, you see. And they expect good.
Let a man turn to his own childhood - no further - if he will renew his sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change.
Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.
Such is the life of a man. Moments of joy, obliterated by unforgettable sadness. There's no need to tell the children that.
There is no greater compliment for a writer than to have pleased a troubled child.
The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent, if he will let it.
A child is owed the greatest respect; if you have ever have something disgraceful in mind, don't ignore your son's tender years.
We have to realize a kid will love us one day and hate us the next. That cannot change who we are and what we are about.
I would just encourage people: your childhood belongs to you, and don't give anyone, especially me, the power to ruin your childhood.
To make the child in your own image is a capital crime, for your image is not worth repeating. The child knows this and you know it. Consequently you hate each other.
