"The child is the only point on which there converges from everyone a feeling of gentleness and love. People’s souls soften and sweeten when one speaks of children; the whole of mankind shares in the deep emotions which they awaken... In the vicinity of children mistrust melts away; we become sweet and kindly, because when we are gathered about them, we feel warmed by that flame of life which is there ... and if this gift is realized to its fullest extent, humanity would take a giant leap forward. (The Absorbent Mind 359)"
