Best Quotes about Childhood
That great Cathedral space which was childhood.
Woolf, Virginia
Is it not strange, that an infant should be heir of the whole world, and see those mysteries which the books of the learned never unfold?
Traherne, Thomas
The stories of childhood leave an indelible impression, and their author always has a niche in the temple of memory from which the image is never cast out to be thrown on the rubbish heap of things that are outgrown and outlived.
Pyle, Howard
I am convinced that, except in a few extraordinary cases, one form or another of an unhappy childhood is essential to the formation of exceptional gifts.
Wilder, Thornton
Now, on the road to freedom, I was pausing for a moment near Temuco and could hear the voice of the water that had taught me to sing.
Neruda, Pablo
Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armor themselves against wonder.
Cohen, Leonard
But childhood prolonged, cannot remain a fairyland. It becomes a hell.
Bogan, Louise
Let a man turn to his own childhood -- no further -- if he will renew his sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change.
Meynell, Alice
Heaven lies about us in our infancy and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.
Bierce, Ambrose
I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.
Neruda, Pablo
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies. Nobody that matters, that is.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent
What might be taken for a precocious genius is the genius of childhood. When the child grows up, it disappears without a trace. It may happen that this boy will become a real painter some day, or even a great painter. But then he will have to begin everything again, from zero.
Picasso, Pablo
Childhood is a disease -- a sickness that you grow out of.
Golding, William
What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Eckhart, Meister
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.
Proust, Marcel
