A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future.
Leonard Bernstein

As the blackness of the night recedes so does the nadir of yesterday. The child I am forgets so quickly.

If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.

What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.

I am neither a child, a young man, nor an ancient; nor am I of any caste.
Guru Nanak

What is a child, monsieur, but the image of two beings, the fruit of two sentiments spontaneously blended?
Honore De Balzac

It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds.
Randy Harrison
