| Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be something very different from the man of to-day. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its own soul. | Francis Thompson (1859-1907) |

And that is the message which every child erroneously learns. | L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) |

| When I grew up, I lived in the ghettos of Hollywood; it was the most disgusting place to be. I was known as the crazy little kid. I did impressions. Then I realized that's not what I want to do. I don't want to be a comedian to please other people. | Leonardo DiCaprio (1974-) |
| Thanks for your nice little note, though I am sorry to hear you find Through the Looking Glass so uninteresting.

| I am fond of children - except boys | Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) |

| Children, by nature, are keen, passionate and curious. What was referred to as laziness is often merely an awakening of sensitivity, a psychological inability to submit to certain absurd duties, and a natural result of the distorted, unbalanced education given to them.

| Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them | Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) |

| But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 million children are without health insurance-when our colossal debt subjects our economic future to the whims of Asian bankers-no one can tell me that faith demands this Senate spend its time arguing over a handful of judges. No one with those priorities can use my faith to intimidate me. | Senator John Kerry (1943-) |
