Many writers do write about their families and their immediate loved ones and love experiences, either as children or as adults. And very often people get offended by it.
Anne Roiphe

In order to develop normally, a child requires progressively more complex joint activity with one or more adults who have an irrational emotional relationship with the child. Somebody's got to be crazy about that kid. That's number one. First, last and always.
Urie Bronfenbrenner

The creative adult is the child who has survived.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
A writer either speaks to adults and bores kids, or speaks to kids and upsets adults.
Ursula K. Le Guin

My philosophy is I'm raising future adults, not children.

College is such a unique time because you're learning a little bit how to be an adult. You're learning how to take care of yourself without parental influence, and you're exposed to so many great minds. I feel like I didn't even know how to think until I got to college.
Anne Hathaway

The comics I read as a kid were much more influenced by TV and movies. Encountering superheroes as an adult without that kind of childhood sentimentality, it just doesn't allow you, or in my case at least, it wouldn't let me take the characters seriously.

There's nothing wrong with making little kids happy, but there's nothing wrong with wanting to be an adult actress. I mean a grown-up actress.
Anne Hathaway

But the pop-up suburb has an incomplete feel to it like something that just wasn't right, wasn't quite real, almost like a movie set. When people raised families in that sterile environment, it produced directionless children who became directionless teenagers, then directionless adults. With no roots, no past to stand on, you got hollow kids.
Anne Frasier

I care so passionately about improving the quality of life for women and girls, not just here in the United States, but internationally as well. I am a single mom and I raised a daughter who is now a young adult.
Valerie Jarrett

I get a lot of letters. Not only from children but from adults, too. Almost every week, every month, clippings come in from some part of the world where ducks are crossing the street.
Robert McCloskey

Another thing I liked about my Dad at church: he did his sleeping at home. He never used the church as an adult nursery.
Vance Havner
Image
But I don't think I've grown up to be a damaged adult.
Vanessa Mae

Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they're very bright. But there's a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy.
Anna Chlumsky

I don't carry a purse when I fly because I have my Hello Kitty carry-on. I'm the biggest adult supporter.
Venus Williams
Image
When you're a student and you just want some money to feel like you're an adult, you'll pretty much do anything within reason.
Simon Pegg
Image
The adult who is constantly changing friends and changing mates is immature. He/she cannot stick it out because he/she has not grown up.
Ann Landers
Image
Strong role models and unconditional love can heal even the most emotionally impoverished person, and that goes for adults as well as youngsters.
Ann Landers
Image
In my adult life, I had spent a lot of time angry at God, mostly over the sudden deaths in my family - my brother at 30, my daughter at 5.
Ann Hood

To wake up one morning and feel that I was a last a grown-up person, emptied of resentment, vengeful thoughts and other wasteful childish emotions. To find myself, in other words, an adult. Truman Capote

When you grow up in a place (whether as a child or an adult) you squeeze everything out of it. You need so much when you're young.
Vestal McIntyre

There’s something about seeing an adult you knew in childhood that makes them marginally vulnerable to you, and vice versa. There’s also something comforting in thinking that if they made it this far, relatively unscathed, then maybe you didn’t turn out half bad either.

It's true that the French have a certain obsession with sex, but it's a particularly adult obsession. France is the thriftiest of all nations to a Frenchman sex provides the most economical way to have fun. The French are a logical race.
Anita Loos

I've learned... That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.
