Nothing should be kept from children on the pretext that they’re little and it’s too soon for them to know. Such a sad, wretched idea!

Adults don’t realize that children can give extremely valuable advice in the most difficult situations. Heavens! When that pretty little bird looks at you, so happy and trusting, you are ashamed to betray it!”",
