Text Quotes
Education is no longer thought of as a preparation for adult life, but as a continuing process of growth and development from birth until death (Adult Quotes)
It’s time to put away our fairytales, all of them, and assume our responsibilities, the adult responsibilities that begin with adult knowledge. Our planet needs us.

You know all that sympathy that you feel for an abused child who suffers without a good mom or dad to love and care for them? Well, they don’t stay children forever. No one magically becomes an adult the day they turn eighteen. Some people grow up sooner, many grow up later. Some never really do. But just remember that some people in this world are older versions of those same kids we cry for (Adult Quotes)
I think when you’re an adult you start to like the very things that make you different.

But when you accept your defect, suddenly no one on earth sees it anymore (Adult Quotes)

Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that’s all. I am not creating a game.
