“It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid.
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade.
And in our world of plenty, we can shed a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time!”
- Bob Geldof (b. 1954) Irish rock musician and philanthropist. and Midge Ure (b. 1953) Scottish rock musician “Do They Know It’s Christmas Time?” (song) , 1984.
“A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie… Children have been treated… as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.”
- Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947), British journalist: “Unofficial Secrets”, 1988.
“The essential self is innocent, and when it tastes its own innocence knows that it lives for ever.”
- John Updike (b. 1932), American author and critic: “Self-Consciousness: Memoirs”, 1989.
