Children Are Innocent/Quotes

And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory, do we come
From God, who is our home:

Heaven lies about us in our infancy.

—William Wordsworth

People often ask me about my children's reactions to the tattoo. I don't believe they noticed it for a long time. To them, it was like a mole, like a birthmark. Or could they have thought that all mothers are numbered? By the time they knew this was not anything I was born with, they knew the story. But I do recall a question Rafael asked when he was about six years old: "Mother, are you sure you didn't do anything wrong when they did this to you?" For a six year old, the world has to be just; goodness should be rewarded and only bad people should be punished.

—The Haggadah of Anna Ornstein

The children were party dissatisfied with it because it did not end with a Day of Judgment; because it was never revealed to the hero and heroine that the dog had been faithful and the cat faithless.
