I am human. Like all humans, I do not remember my birth.

We live like latecomers to the theater; we must catch up as best we can, divining the begging from the shape of later events. - Vida Winter Diane Setterfield
children heart soul
All children mythologise their birth. It is a universal trait. You want to know someone? Heart, mind and soul? Ask him to tell you about when he was born. What you get won’t be the truth: it will be a story. And nothing is more telling than a story. Diane Setterfield

children thinking years
I think a huge amount of it is because of the Internet. Every single thing in the world is accessible with a few clicks. Almost every child, by the age of 13, has seen pornography. That's clearly different. It used to be really hard or really humiliating, as a 13-year-old, to access pornography. If you wanted to take a look at a Playboy, it was really challenging. Today, it's a joke. David Schwimmer

Listen, you might want to pack a few of your things together before going to bed. The former bishop of Turkey will be coming tonight along with six to eight black men.

This was the reward for living in the Netherlands. As a child you get to hear this story, and as an adult you get to turn around and repeat it. David Sedaris

There is a human longing to go back to other times. We all know how when we were children we asked our parents, "What was it like when you were a kid?" I think it probably has something to do with our survival as a species. David McCullough

Several of us linguists at that time would record our own kids, just to get some data. There was some literature on it then, but no day-by-day, blow-by-blow examples.

You don't talk to a linguist without having what you say taken down and used in evidence against you at some point in time. David Crystal

If your children object to being tied, threaten to take them to see Santa Claus; that ought to shut them up. Dave Barry
