Children Are Innocent/Quotes

"''Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory, do we come

From God, who is our home:

Heaven lies about us in our infancy.''"

- William Wordsworth

"Children are pure. They know who's the strongest."

- MASK DE Smith, Killer 7

"Don't you believe the world can change if children with a sense of justice, like Maki, are allowed to grow up with their innocence untouched?"

- L, L: Change the World

"People often ask me about my children's reactions to the tattoo. I don't believe they noticed it for a long time. To them, it was like a mole, like a birthmark. Or could they have thought that all mothers are numbered? By the time they knew this was not anything I was born with, they knew the story. But I do recall a question Rafael asked when he was about six years old: "Mother, are you sure you didn't do anything wrong when they did this to you?" For a six year old, the world has to be just; goodness should be rewarded and only bad people should be punished."

- The Haggadah of Anna Ornstein

"The children were party dissatisfied with it because it did not end with a Day of Judgment; because it was never revealed to the hero and heroine that the dog had been faithful and the cat faithless. For children are innocent and love justice; while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy."

- G. K. Chesterton
