Anthony Esolen Quotes
If We Loved Children, We Would Have A Few. If We Had Them, We Would Want Them As Children, And Would Love The Wonder With Which They Behold The World, And Would Hope Some Of It Might Open Our Eyes A Little. We Would Love Their Games, And Would Want To Play Them Once In A While, Stirring In Ourselves Those Memories Of Play That No One Regrets, And That Are Almost The Only Things An Old Man Can Look Back On With Complete Satisfaction. We Would Want Children Tagging Along After Us, Or If Not, Then Only Because We Would Understand That They Had Better Things To Do.
