Adults ask questions as a child does. When you stop wondering, you might as well put your rocker on the front porch and call it a day.
Johnny Carson
Image
Adults are only kids grown up
Walt Disney
Image
Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Adults, older girls, shops, magazines, newspapers, window signs—all the world had agreed that a blue-eyed, yellow-haired, pink-skinned doll was what every girl child treasured
Toni Morrison
Image
Adults had the notion that juveniles needed to suffer. Only when they had suffered enough to wipe out most of their naturally joyous spirits and innocence were they staid enough to be considered mature. An adult was essentially a broken-down child.
Piers Anthony
Image
Adults often assume that most learning is the result of teaching and that exploratory, spontaneous learning is unusual. But actually, spontaneous learning is more fundamental.
Alison Gopnik
Image
Adults tend to think they have much free will. Kids younger than six are less sure. They may be more realistic!
Alison Gopnik
Image
Adults who enter into public life implicitly consent to having less privacy, but their families - especially their children - should not be treated callously or thoughtlessly.
Melissa Harris-Perry
Image
Adults are the first and foremost teachers of love, peace, truth, tolerance, happiness and spirituality to their children. No school on Earth can ever replace them.
Robert Muller
Image
Adults will not necessarily laugh at the same thing as their children.
Richard Armitage
Image
Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas
Paula Poundstone
Image
Adults are only obsolete children.
Dr. Seuss
Image
Adults always acted like they could fix everything. But they can't. And they know it.
Jana Oliver
Image
Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves.
Elias Canetti
Image
Adults need to have fun so children will want to grow up.
Erica Bauermeister
Image
Adults can take a simple holiday for Children and screw it up. What began as a presentation of simple gifts to delight and surprise children around the Christmas tree has culminated in a woman unwrapping six shrimp forks from her dog, who drew her name.
Erma Bombeck
Image
Adults in a free country should be able to smoke a joint if they want to.
Roseanne Barr
Image
Adults trying to protect children from reality, right? And adults always trying to fill children with fantasy - the tooth fairy, Santa, make-believe games, etc. But kids are really smart, I think they know from an early age about death, this void and hole they are immediately traveling toward.
Shane Warren Jones
Image
Adults don't know how to respect and really love their young ones. Often love is confused with possession. You say this is my about your child, without taking into account that you're dealing with a real person with his/her own personality, rights, and autonomy, even when very young.
Dacia Maraini
Image
Adults weren’t supposed to understand their children and you were doing something wrong if they did.
Kate Morton
Image
Adults are just children sometimes. But evil, hurt children.
Juliette Lewis
Image
Adults forget that kids are their own best censors.
Tim Burton
Image
Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching.
Walt Disney
Image
Adults always wonder what to say and how to say it when they're talking to a child. You want to be wise, but all you are is a child yourself in a larger body. Nothing is ever what it seems. The things that you think you know are never certain. I know that now. I wish that I didn't, but I do.
