Juliet MarillierThree children lay on the rocks at the water's edge. A dark-haired girl, two boys, slightly older. This image is caught forever in my memory, like some fragile creature preserved in amber.
About This Quote
This quote by author Michael Chabon captures the wonder of life. The three children laying on the rocks at the edge of a lake represents innocence and innocence is something we all want to preserve and protect. Children are pure and innocent and we must never harm them or their innocence. It’s hard to see that they’ll grow up and leave us forever, but we must remember that they will become adults.
The image is captured in my memory like some fragile creature preserved in amber. We must never harm these children no matter how deep the hurt seems to go inside of us.
