Free childhood sayings, quotes and quotations
Throughout our lives, we see in the mirror the same innocent trusting face we have seen there since childhood.
~quotes about childhood by Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town.

A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.

The faintest waft is sometimes enough to induce feelings of hunger or anticipation, or to transport you back through time and space to a long-forgotten moment in your childhood.
