Sometimes I think that the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want.
Ryan Gosling

If you never allow your children to exceed what they can do, how are they ever going to manage adult life - where a lot of it is managing more than you thought you could manage?
Ellen Galinsky
Image
Everybody dreams, but memory for dreams is famously elusive. Even Sigmund Freud, without the benefit of modern technology's electroencephalogram, or EEG, did not know that adult humans dream 90 minutes per night, and that newborns spend eight hours per day dreaming (out of their 16 hours of sleep). REM sleep helps grow the brain!

I was an adult when I was supposed to be a kid. So now I'm an adult and I'm acting like a kid.

The bottomless bitter misery of childhood: how little even now it is understood. Probably no adult misery can be compared with a child's despair.
Iris Murdoch

I have a four-and-a-half-year-old and, when she was two and a half, she would make my wife and I do voices, like Woody and Jessie the Cowgirl, or Elmo, or Yogi Bear and Booboo. If we didn't do it, she would scream at us. So, my wife and I would have adult conversations as Yogi Bear and Booboo. It was just a nightmare year.

During adolescence, friends bring an intimate quality of support that can't be provided by any adult.

Putting lessons in young adult books is very dangerous.

For most of my adult life, I have been an emotional hit-and- run driver--that is, a reporter. I made people like me, trust me, open their hearts and their minds to me, and cry and bleed on to the pages of my neat little notebooks, and then I went back to a safe place and made a story out of it.
Anna Quindlen

I was born with an adult head and a tiny body. Like a 'Peanuts' character.
Jon Stewart

Growing up means leaving home and becoming a self supporting adult. I think this the hardest task any human being hast to face.
John Bradshaw
Image
The youngest child in any family is always a jokemaker, because a joke is the only way he can enter into an adult conversation.
Kurt Vonnegut
Image
I had a real passion for performing. I craved the attention. I was a goofy kid just like I am a goofy adult. So as soon as I got the bug of getting laughs and getting on stage I just couldn't stop.
Tom Green

Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.
Joel Osteen

The only obvious advantage to being an adult is that you can eat your dessert without haying sampled the vegetables.
Lisa Alther

This is no occupation for an adult who can look other adults in the eye, carry his own weight, and count himself one of them.
Franz Wright

When I was a child, I spoke like a child. When I was an adult, I no longer spoke like a child. When I became old and wise, I spoke again like a child. I wish I had spoken all my life like a child.
Robert Muller

Doing 'Young Adult' was really reassuring to me in a lot of ways. It confirmed a lot of suspicions I had about great actors.
Patton Oswalt

Attaching the word marriage to the association of same-sex individuals mistakenly presumes that marriage is principally a matter of adult benefits and adult rights. In fact, marriage is principally about the nurturing and development of children. And the successful development of children is critical to the preservation and success of our nation.
Mitt Romney

What we publishers think is that our function is to bring everything out into the open, on the theory that we have an adult population that knows values, or can learn them, and let them decide.
Maxwell Perkins
Image
Adult stem cells tend not to form tumors.
Virginia Foxx
Image
I consider always the adult life to be the continuous retrieval of childhood.
Umberto Eco
Image
Everyone says buying your first apartment makes you feel like an adult. What no one mentions is that selling it turns you right back into a child.
Anderson Cooper

Journalism's been a continuing course in adult education for me.
