• Oh, when a mother meets on high The babe she lost in infancy, Hath she not then for pains and fears, The day of woe, the watchful night, For all her sorrow, all her tears, An over-payment of delight?

• Cuán asombrosamente la oportunidad de dejar el mundo mejora en nosotros el sentido de sus bellezas naturales. Como el pobre Falstaff, aunque no "balbuceo", pienso en los campos verdes; reflexiono con el mayor afecto sobre cada flor que he conocido desde mi infancia; sus formas y colores son tan nuevos para mí como si acabara de crearlos con una fantasía sobrehumana.

  John Keats

• Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see. From a biological point of view it is inconceivable that any culture will forget that it needs to reproduce itself. But it is quite possible for a culture to exist without a social idea of children. Unlike infancy, childhood is a social artifact, not a biological category.

• Enjoy the blessing of strength while you have it and do not bewail it when it is gone, unless, forsooth, you believe that youth must lament the loss of infancy, or early manhood the passing of youth. Life's race-course is fixed; Nature has only a single path and that path is run but once, and to each stage of existence has been allotted its own appropriate quality; so that the weakness of childhood, the impetuosity of youth, the seriousness of middle life, the maturity of old age.. each bears some of Nature's fruit, which must be garnered in its own season.

• [Why] should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school book? Its morals are pure, its examples captivating and noble. The reverence for the Sacred Book that is thus early impressed lasts long; and probably if not impressed in infancy, never takes firm hold of the mind.

• El amante de la naturaleza es aquel cuyos sentidos internos y externos están todavía verdaderamente ajustados entre sí; quien ha retenido el espíritu de la infancia incluso en la era de la madurez. Su relación con el cielo y la tierra forma parte de su alimento diario. En presencia de la naturaleza, una delicia salvaje recorre al hombre, a pesar de las penas reales.

• Last night I encountered a dream cat with a very long neck and a body like a human fetus, gray and transluscent. I don't know what it needs or how to provide for it. Another dream years ago of a human child with eyes on stalks. It is very small, but can walk and talk "Don't you want me?" Again, I don't know how to care for the child. But I am dedicated to protecting and nurturing him at any cost! It is the function of the Guardian to protect hybrids and mutants in the vulnerable stage of infancy.

• I really am a pessimist. I've always felt that fascism is a more natural governmental condition than democracy. Democracy is a grace. It's something essentially splendid because it's not at all routine or automatic. Fascism goes back to our infancy and childhood, where we were always told how to live. We were told, Yes, you may do this; no, you may not do that. So the secret of fascism is that it has this appeal to people whose later lives are not satisfactory.

• Por lo tanto, debe ser vuestro cuidado, y el mío, elevar las mentes de nuestros hijos y exaltar su valor; acelerar y animar su industria y actividad; excitar en ellos un desprecio habitual de la mezquindad, el aborrecimiento de la injusticia y la inhumanidad, y la ambición de sobresalir en cada capacidad, facultad y virtud. Si permitimos que sus mentes se arrastren y se arrastren en la infancia, se arrastrarán toda su vida.

• What is life? Thoughts and feelings arise, with or without our will, and we employ words to express them. We are born, and our birth is unremembered and our infancy remembered but in fragments. We live on, and in living we lose the apprehension of life. How vain is it to think that words can penetrate the mystery of our being. Rightly used they may make evident our ignorance of ourselves, and this is much.

• My very photogenic mother died in a freak accident (picnic, lightning) when I was three, and, save for a pocket of warmth in the darkest past, nothing of her subsists within the hollows and dells of memory, over which, if you can still stand my style (I am writing under observation), the sun of my infancy had set: surely, you all know those redolent remnants of day suspended, with the midges, about some hedge in bloom or suddenly entered and traversed by the rambler, at the bottom of a hill, in the summer dusk; a furry warmth, golden midges.

• Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us life itself. Beyond this they almost always made countless sacrifices as they cared for and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood, provided us with the necessities of life, and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up.
