“When a child hits a child, we call it aggression.When a child hits an adult, we call it hostility.When an adult hits an adult, we call it assault.When an adult hits a child, we call it discipline.”
“There is nothing more pathetically sad than a parent who teaches a child not to hit by spanking them. Well, that, and adults who think hitting someone will solve a problem.”
“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.”
“A normal child is an adult”
“Every adult needs a child to teach; it’s the way adults learn.”
“I'm still young and therefore I don't know as much about the world as an adult, yet I'm no longer a child and not yet a lady, but lingering between the two, like in that state called purgatory, only for a young girl no longer a child and a woman, I call it a state of temporary frustration.”
