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 are just obsolete children and the hell with them.
Dr. Seuss
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 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 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 need more complex narratives. They have their own narratives. The main characters are themselves.
Haruki Murakami
Image
Adults are the real monsters.
Stephen King
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 weren’t supposed to understand their children and you were doing something wrong if they did.
Kate Morton
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 are only kids grown up
Walt Disney
Image
Adults, Sophie has decided a long time before, were really bad at making up good excuses.

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 have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.
Maria Montessori
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 always acted like they could fix everything. But they can't. And they know it.
Jana Oliver
Image
Adults talk about being happy because largely they are not.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Adults are only obsolete children.
Dr. Seuss
Image
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 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.
