"The greatest terror a child can have is that he is not loved, and rejection is the hell he fears. I think everyone in the world to a large or small extent has felt rejection. And with rejection comes anger, and with anger some kind of crime in revenge for the rejection, and with the crime guilt – and there is the story of mankind." — John Steinbeck, East of Eden, 1952
"If we are ever to turn toward a kindlier society and a safer world, a revulsion against the physical punishment of children would be a good place to start." — Dr. Benjamin Spock |
"There never was a time when a major social problem was solved by beating a child. And there never will be such a time... For centuries adults have injured children and have lied about it, and other adults have heard those lies and then merely turned away," — Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop, 1989. Read more.
"When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?" — Eleanor Roosevelt |
"If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children." — Mahatma Gandhi
"There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children." — Nelson Mandela "Despite frequent and loud screaming heard coming from the house, the neighbor said there was no indication of abuse." Contra Costa Times, September 4, 2008 |
