“If I were poet now, I would not resist the temptation to trace my life back through the delicate shadows of my childhood to the precious and sheltered sources of my earliest memories. But these possessions are far too dear and sacred for the person I now am to spoil for myself. All there is to say of my childhood is that it was good and happy. I was given the freedom to discover my own inclinations and talents, to fashion my inmost pleasures and sorrows myself and to regard the future not as an alien higher power but as the hope and product of my own strength.” IfsPersonsGivenMemoriesMy OwnPleasureChildhoodTalentFashionPoetProductsSourceHigherSorrowShadowRegardSacredDearPossessionTemptationAliensDelicateInclinationSpoilHigher Power Author:Hermann Hesse

“Yeah, we were looking for a way to represent adulthood and the passing into adulthood. And I think, for me personally and a lot of the folks that I work with, childhood is kind of a sacred, special kind of point in time that has a real joy and purity to it.

“Marilla felt more embarrassed than ever. She had intended to teach Anne the childish classic, "Now I lay me down to sleep." But she had, as I have told you, the glimmerings of a sense of humor--which is simply another name for a sense of the fitness of things; and it suddenly occurred to her that simple little prayer, sacred to the white-robed childhood lisping at motherly knees, was entirely unsuited to this freckled witch of a girl who knew and cared nothing about God's love, since she had never had it translated to her through the medium of human love.” HumansLittlesGirlNamesFeltPrayerSleepSimpleWhiteTeachChildhoodSacredLaysMediumsKneesClassicSense Of HumorWitchEmbarrassedGod's LoveHuman LoveMotherly Book:Anne of Green Gables Collection: Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, and More Anne Shirley Books Source: Anne of Green Gables Collection: Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, and More Anne Shirley Books
“There is a part of childhood that is childish, and a part that is sacred. Suddenly we are touching the sacred part -- running to the shoreline, feeling the first cold burst of water on our ankles, reaching into the tide to catch at shells before they ebb away from our fingers. We have returned to a world that is capable of glistening, and we are wading deeper within it.” WorldFirstsFeelingsRunningWaterChildhoodColdCapableSacredFingersDeeperReachingTouchingTidesShellsAnklesShoreline Book:Every Day Source: Every Day

“To find this greater truth about God, Spirit, and the sacred, we must often set aside the limiting impressions from our childhood. In many instances these images of fear only serve to hold us back in our search for authentic spirituality...Open up your mind and heart to a concept of Spirit who looks out for us, loves us, sheds light on our path, and wants nothing less for us than unconditional happiness.” WantMindLooksHeartGodLightSpiritSpiritualityPathGreaterChildhoodConceptsOur ChildrenSacredImpressionInstanceShedHeart And MindUnconditional Author:Sarah Ban Breathnach
