Child Separation Quotes

“Time is different when you are a child. Every day stretches into forever. New worlds can be invented and discarded in the course of a single afternoon. And America can be a place that has always done a thing, or America can be a place that has never done a thing, except in stories or in nightmares.

If we stop this now, right now, this instant, after a year, or two, or three, there will be children who know that America would never do such a thing. And then we must keep not doing it. We must stop this, until they are not children any longer, and then never do it again.”
― Alexandra Petri, Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why
