Dear brothers and sisters, never resort to war! never war! above all, i think of all the children who are robbed of their hope for a better life and a decent future. killed children, wounded children, mutilated children, orphans, children who play with remnants of war, instead of toys. children who don't know how to smile. please stop! i ask you with all my heart. it's time to stop. stop it please!

If you want your children to relate to the culture you live in, if you want to train them outside of the general system, you have to tell your children that ordinary children tend to say things like 'i can run faster than you; i can draw better than you; i know things you don't know'. you have to tell them what normal children are like. normal children are messed up and you have to tell them about that. but if you instruct your child in high correlation with the physical world, they won't be able to relate with normal children. normal means mixed up as i use the word.

When jesus christ asked little children to come to him, he didn't say only rich children, or white children, or children with two-parent families, or children who didn't have a mental or physical handicap. he said, let all children come unto me.

Alpha children wear grey. they work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. i'm awfully glad i'm a beta, because i don't work so hard. and then we are much better than the gammas and deltas. gammas are stupid. they all wear green, and delta children wear khaki. oh no, i don't want to play with delta children. and epsilons are still worse. they're too stupid to be able to read or write. besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. i'm so glad i'm a beta.
Children Clever Stupid
In 1990, when we started the black community crusade for children, we were always talking about all children, but we paid particular attention to children who were not white, who were poor, who were disabled, and who were the most vulnerable.parents didn't think their children would live to adulthood, and the children didn't think they were going to live to adulthood. that's when we started our first gun-violence campaign. we've lost 17 times more young black people to gun violence since 1968 than we lost in all the lynching in slavery.

The first step to get this noble and manly steadiness, is... carefully keep children from frights of all kinds, when they are young. ...instances of such who in a weak timorous mind, have borne, all their whole lives through, the effects of a fright when they were young, are every where to be seen, and therefore as much as may be to be prevented.
Children Mind Noble
I don't think about age groups when i write, although i think if i know i'm writing for children i'll be a bit more ambitious, and think more about every word, because i know that they pay closer attention when they read than adults do.
Children Writing Thinking
I'd written my first novel for adults, which was called basic eight and was set in a high school, and we were having a devil of a time selling it. it ended up in the hands of an editor of a children's publishing house, for which it was entirely inappropriate. she said, "well, we can't publish this, but i think you should write something for children," which i thought was a really terrible idea.
