People are really happier with friends than they are with their families or their spouse or their child.
I was very nervous as a child and had stage fright.
I was frustrated as a child when I had to use a vacuum. It had a screaming noise and the smell of stale dog and a lack of performance.
When a child is born, it is immersed in an atmosphere charged with the stellar vibrations peculiar to that moment, which are stamped upon each atom of the sensitive organism by the air inhaled with the first breath.
As a child I always steered clear of science fiction, but in the autumn of 1977, the bow-wave of publicity for the first 'Star Wars' movie had already reached me, so I was eager for anything science-fictional.
The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.
The problem of moral change would appear to be one of presenting stimuli which are both sufficiently incongruous as to stimulate conflict in the child's existing stage schemata and sufficiently congruous as to be assimilable with some accomodative effort.
A child's kiss is magic. Why else would they be so stingy with them?
As a child, I loved story books and wanted to be in them so desperately and live the stories.
I was such a strong-willed child, my parents weren't sure how to deal with me.
I was studious and bookish. Not just as a child but also as a teenager. I took myself too seriously.
I was a studious child, heavily into academics. For the longest time, I wouldn't talk.
Words do not necessarily make us moral. And there have been presidents before who have stumbled over syntax and looked foolish when the words they have been forced to speak have been their own. But Trump is uniquely stunted. A child listening to two of his speeches could reproduce a third without the use of a dictionary.
The movies are something that I've been obsessed with, and I've subscribed to movie magazines all my life, since I was a child.
Even as a small child, I wondered why the Dominican nuns who educated me were subservient to the Jesuit priests who educated my brothers.
Well you know I've attracted a lot of criticism by, for example, suggesting that child benefit should be taken away from higher rate taxpaying families.
A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.
When a woman gives birth to a child, the child needs to be able to digest the mother's milk; but when this child is old enough to begin to eat other foods, there is some switching off of this ability to consume milk.
Say a child raises this beautiful beet. It's going to give her a sense of ownership, and that changes everything. You stop taking things for granted; you become less wasteful.
I was a very quiet, shy child. I just became quite talkative in high school, in Grade 10 onwards.
