As an adult, it's a huge shock to be orphaned; as a child it's just hideous, ghastly.
As a child I loved ghost stories.
I was not an attractive child. When I didn't use my Girl Scouts uniform as a uniform, I used it as a tent.
The relationship between a mother and child is more than just give and take; it is magical.
Give me a child and I'll shape him into anything.
I am like a child when it comes to gizmos and gadgets.
There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.
What I continuously remember is when I was a child in the courtyard with my grandmother and we milked the goat and we made the ricotta. The still-warm ricotta from our goat, on top of a piece of bread, and we used to sprinkle just a little bit of honey or sugar on it. That flavor, that stays in my memory.
I'm not sure I would be a good godmother. I have read about it, and I found that the godmother's position is to take care of the morals of the child. I don't know how good I would be at that.
I also found child's play - stuff that was not considered serious, but goofy - was the stuff I liked to do, so I still do it as an adult.
One of the joys of being a grandparent is getting to see the world again through the eyes of a child.
The simplest toy, one which even the youngest child can operate, is called a grandparent.
In order to influence a child, one must be careful not to be that child's parent or grandparent.
I try to widen the horizons of every child I meet, and part of that is promoting diverse forms, be it graphic novels, stories told in a narrative voice, or more translated books, as well as more diverse writers and more diverse characters.
Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
A great artist is a great man in a great child.
It's just a great feeling, once you have a child.
I had great memories as a child artist.
One of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child is to help them find their talents.
As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I'd get locked in a grocery store.
