Togetherness in the New Year...

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million. ~Walt Streightiff

Little men already..

Children are contemptuous, haughty, irritable, envious, sneaky, selfish, lazy, flighty, timid, liars and hypocrites, quick to laugh and cry, extreme in expressing joy and sorrow, especially about trifles, they'll do anything to avoid pain but they enjoy inflicting it: little men already. ~Jean de La Bruyère, Les Caractères, 1688

Everything in Nothing..

Children find everything in nothing; men find nothing in everything. ~Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone Scelto

I am the King...

I am,
indeed,
a king,

to rule myself.
