One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct Picture Quote #1

I’ve protected my protracted period of infancy. For many years. And I have no desire to become an adult Picture Quote #1

Being poor is like being a child. Being rich is like being an adult: you get to do whatever you want. Everyone is nice when they have to be; rich people are nice when they feel like it Picture Quote #1

A woman should never underestimate the power of the child in the man. Sometimes the child seems to be in the driver’s seat at the very moment when all a man’s adult judgment and insight is needed Picture Quote #1

If cynicism is inevitable as one ages, so is the yearning for innocence. To children heaven is being an adult, and to adults heaven is being children again Picture Quote #1

The way in which each human infant is transformed into the finished adult, into the complicated individual version of his city and his century is one of the most fascinating studies open to the curious minded Picture Quote #1

Cats, even when robust, have scant liking for the boisterous society of children, and are apt to exert their utmost ingenuity to escape it. Nor are they without adult sympathy in their prejudice Picture Quote #1

I think thinking about becoming an adult, and having to face up to your problems and face up to your insecurities, is difficult for everybody Picture Quote #1

When children do not have three square meals a day, a proper education, and at least one adult who they know loves and is committed to them, its very unlikely they will grow up to be productive citizens of the world Picture Quote #1

To tell an adult exactly what steps to take towards his salvation was apt to weaken him. It deprived him of his inalienable right to trial and error which was tonic to the character Picture Quote #1

In a culture defined by shades of gray, I think the absolute black and white choices in dark young adult novels are incredibly satisfying for readers Picture Quote #1
