I don't dislike them, nor do I like them. I've never understood why one must love children simply because they are children. I don't love people because they are people; in fact, I rarely like any people at all. If a child is somehow deserving of admiration, I certainly won't deny it, but why hand it out like candy on Queen's Day? Kiersten White
About This Quote

This quote speaks of the idea that children are not necessarily deserving of our affection. Children are essentially innocent and have little reason to have any ill will toward others, so it’s best to simply accept them for who they are without expecting too much from them. It can be helpful to remember this while interacting with children, as we might tend to look down on them and judge them for their missteps.
