Children Quote by Courtney Hodell

“Here's where I tell you that I love children, and where you look at me skeptically. But I do. I love them for their wild experiments with language; for their inability to feign interest in things that do not truly grip them; for their seriousness and total immersion in play.” quote by Courtney Hodell
