My Top 10 Favourite Quotes About Children

I’ve collected 1 inspirational quote about children (so far). I’ll update this section from time to time.

I.

Karl Ove Knausgaard on what makes life worth living.

‘What makes life worth living? No child asks itself that question. To children life is self-evident. Life goes without saying: whether it is good or bad makes no difference. This is because children don’t see the world, don’t observe the world, don’t contemplate the world, but are so deeply immersed in the world that they don’t distinguish between it and their own selves.’
