Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They're incredibly honest. They'll tell you exactly what they think.

Tim Sample

We’ve educated children to think that spontaneity is inappropriate. Children are willing to expose themselves to experiences. We aren’t. Grownups always say they protect their children, but they’re really protecting themselves. Besides, you can’t protect children. They know everything.

Maurice Sendak

In the mornings I drop my son off at school and then head to work. I am done at work by 2:00 P. M. and can head home.

Dana Reeve

People think that children don't know anything. It's enough to make you wonder if grownups were ever children once upon a time.

Muriel Barbery

Everyone wants their children to go to school, to have a job, a roof over their head, feed their children.

Charley Boorman

We thought we were running away from the grownups, and now we are the grownups.

Margaret Atwood

I come from a place where breath, eyes, and memory are one, a place from which you carry your past like a hair on your head. Where women return to their children as butterflies or as tears in the eyes of the statues that their daughters pray to

Edwidge Danticat

With 28 million children eating lunch at school every day in the United States, I believe government has an obligation to ensure parents have some peace of mind when they send their children off to school in the morning, .. Since children are particularly vulnerable to foodborne illness, schools must be vigilant in their efforts to ensure that cafeterias are not putting children at risk. These changes in law will support parents who want to work with school principals and food-service directors to ensure a safe environment.

Rosa DeLauro

Children want to do what grownups do.

Beverly Cleary

I am curious about grownups, not children.

Jerzy Kosinski

On a personal level, I do a "brain dump" where everything that's in my head that needs doing gets written down. It gives your brain a rest. And then I give myself permission not to do everything on that list. I'm much more clear about my priorities: What are those moments of connection that are most important to me? Today is a busy workday but it's also a snow day, so I'm going cross-country skiing with my husband. And then I'll come back and finish my work.

Brigid Schulte

Is not Jesus pointing to children even as models for grownups?

Pope John Paul II

When Jesus Christ asked little children to come to him, he didn't say only rich children, or White children, or children with two-parent families, or children who didn't have a mental or physical handicap. He said, Let all children come unto me.

Marian Wright Edelman

People see I am a mother and head of a household. Today in Chile, one-third of households are run by women. They wake up, take the children to school, go to work. To them I am hope.

Michelle Bachelet

For a generation, terrorists learned they could make war on free nations without fear of war in return. On September 12, the terrorists got war in return.

Ken Mehlman

[Children] use up the same part of my head as poetry does. To deal with children is a matter of terrific imaginative identification. And the children have to come first. It's no use putting off their evening meal for two months.
