Lamlah tidak mau jadi anak laja, Lamlah anak bapak dan anak mak,"
jawab budak yang belum mengenal kemuliaan dunia itu.
Ala, bodoh si Malah ini, tidak mau jadi anak raja?" kata si Samin
mencampuri percakapan itu. "Anak raja senang sekali, duitnya banyak,
hari-hari makan ayam."
Kalau si Samin ini, tak lain daripada memikirkan pengisi perut saja,"
kata mak si Samin dari balik dinding.
Ya, abang ini lakus benal, endak makan ayam saja seperti musang,"
kata si Ramlah.
In peace, children inter their parents; war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.

Children seem to need, then, a delicate balance between the realistic and the fantastic in their art; enough of the realistic to know that the story matters, enough of the fantastic to make what matters wonderful

When we are no longer children we are already dead

I have a private theory, Sir, that there are no heroes and no monsters in this world. Only children should be allowed to use these words

A first child is your own best foot forward, and how you do cheer those little feet as they strike out. You examine every turn of flesh for precocity, and crow it to the world. But the last one: the baby who trails her scent like a flag of surrender through your life when there will be no more coming after--oh, that' s love by a different name.

Women without children are also the best of mothers,often, with the patience,interest, and saving grace that the constant relationship with children cannot always sustain. I come to crave our talk and our daughters gain precious aunts. Women who are not mothering their own children have the clarity and focus to see deeply into the character of children webbed by family. A child is fortuante who feels witnessed as a peron,outside relationships with parents by another adult.

Her magic formula for dealing with children is ignoring all faults and accenting tiny virtues. She says, "Instead of telling Tommy day in and day out that he is the naughtiest boy in the United States of America, which could very well be true, take an aspirin and comment on his neatly tied shoes. Almost anybody would rather be known for expert shoe-tying than for kicking the cat." She always tells whiners how charming they are--bullies how brave--bad sports how good--sneaks how honest!

Anything can become a children's book if you give it to a child...Children are actually the best (and worst) audience for literature because they have no patience with pretence.

What it means to be human is to bring up your children in safety, educate them, keep them healthy, teach them how to care for themselves and others, allow them to develop in their own way among adults who are sane and responsibile, who know the value of the world and not its economic potential. It means art, it means time, it means all the invisibles never counted by the GDP and the census figures. It means knowing that life has an inside as well as an outside. And I think it means love.
