Daniel KeyesA child may not know how to feed itself, or what to eat, yet it knows hunger.
About This Quote
This quote is a powerful one. We all know the feeling of hunger, of course, but we don’t always know how to deal with it. We go on eating more and more food, and the food we eat keeps getting bigger and bigger. A child doesn’t know about such things: it just knows that it is hungry and that food is needed.
