I do think that it’s harder to love a child when you come into that child’s life after the unrequited passion of infancy and early childhood has passed. Ayelet Waldman
An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so long wandered. Bayard Taylor
