Adult Quotes

I don’t read young adult or children’s books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I’m aware of what’s out there. But I tend not to read the books Picture Quote #1

For a long time I felt like I was fighting my age, like I was constantly trying to prove to people that I was a savvy peer, and I felt them viewing me as a kid. I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9, you know? I think that’s because my parents always treated me as an adult Picture Quote #1

I never really had that father figure to look up to. I think that’s the reason I’m so ambitious. I felt like I wasn’t appreciated as a child so I wanted to prove my worth as an adult, as an actor Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t say in all situations, but a lot of times kids can be the most reasonable people around because they don’t have the deal with all the drama that goes along with being an adult Picture Quote #1

I was a very, very old child. Sometimes you meet a child who seems more like an adult. I think I was that type of child because I had a nearly fatal kidney disease when I was 9 years old Picture Quote #1

I’m terrified of growing up. Once you become an adult, how to you step back from that? It’s something that wakes me up at night Picture Quote #1

What a gifted child is, in many ways, is a gifted learner. And what a gifted adult is, is a gifted doer. And those are quite separate domains of achievement Picture Quote #1

The books housed in one’s first adult bookshelf are the geological bed of who we wish to become Picture Quote #1

Teen movies often have an unspoken underlying premise in which high school is seen as less serious than the adult world. But when your head is encased in that microcosm it’s the most serious time of your life Picture Quote #1

It has taken me most of my adult life to come to terms with who I am. To do that, I had to break free of attitudes that brought me down Picture Quote #1

I was kind of a misfit, and when my mother died, I had to become an adult, something that I never thought I would ever be Picture Quote #1

At school, I decided I wanted to be a director and then I went out and spent the rest of my adult life trying to be a director. It was really clear to me. So in that sense I was very lucky Picture Quote #1

Become aware of your beliefs and automatic default settings. Bring them into the light of your present, adult knowledge. Gently acknowledge that they are what they are. Then accept that they constitute what you’ve believed until now, and that you can transform them into beliefs that allow you to fully express who you really are. Without judgment, patiently begin working to change subconscious and limiting beliefs into true expressions of your authentic self Picture Quote #1

Many people strive for personal freedom throughout their adult lives, and never attain it. First, they become imprisoned a good portion of their lives by their jobs. Then, after they leave the work force, they become imprisoned by retirement Picture Quote #1

I have spent the better part of my adult life standing up and fighting for working families Picture Quote #1

I’ve been an avid consumer of young adult literature since I was one, and I think some people leave that stuff behind when they become old adults, but I never did. I was always interested in the fantasy world created in those novels Picture Quote #1

Therefore, all my adult life, since I began my life as an author, or as a teacher, I always try to listen to the victim Picture Quote #1

The more backwoodish a social group, juvenile or adult, the stricter its conception of the normal, and the readier it will ridicule any departure from it Picture Quote #1

There are clear differences between child and adult artistic activity. While the child may be aware that he is doing things differently from others, he does not fully appreciate the rules and conventions of symbolic realms; his adventurousness holds little significance. In contrast, the adult artist is fully cognizant of the norms embraced by others; his willingness, his compulsion, to reject convention is purchased, at the very least, with full knowledge of what he is doing and often at considerable psychic cost to himself Picture Quote #1

As a child, one looks for compliments. As an adult, one looks for evidence of effectiveness Picture Quote #1

All great art originates from the innocent child within us expressing itself through the wisdom, experience and skill of an adult Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you act like an adult when you’re a kid you can afford to act like a kid the rest of your life Picture Quote #1

I want to be the kind of adult that keeps learning. I want to always be open to new experiences Picture Quote #1

Many people’s unhappiness is rooted in the habitual role they play. While our family role may have made sense growing up, it often wreaks havoc in our adult lives Picture Quote #1

Something awful happens to a person who grows up as a creative kid and suddenly finds no creative outlet as an adult Picture Quote #1

Children, it should be repeated, are not pocket editions of adults, because childhood is a period of physical growth and development, a period of preparation for adult responsibility and public and private life. A program of children cannot be merely an adaptation of the program for adults, nor should it be curtailed during periods of depression or emergency expansion of other programs Picture Quote #1

A rebel adult often seems like a glorious savior, whereas a rebel child often seems like a little devil Picture Quote #1

A lot of people are doing television now. Great, legendary actors are doing movies on cable and stuff now, and you can’t blame them, because they’re still doing adult dramas and adult comedies on those stations Picture Quote #1

English children have lost their innocence, for their first lessons have been in the exploitation of their adult slave Picture Quote #1
