Adult Quotes

As a child, I loved fairy tales because the story, the what-comes-next, is paramount. As an adult, I’m fascinated by their logic and illogic Picture Quote #1

Many people think fairy tales and retellings of fairy tales are only for children, but I’m not the only writer to take an old tale and retell it for a sophisticated adult audience Picture Quote #1

It wasn’t until I was an adult reader that I began to fathom the influence of fairy tales on writers I was in love with over the years, from Louisa May Alcott to Bernard Malamud to John Cheever to Anne Frank to Joy Williams Picture Quote #1

As I read more and more fairy tales as an adult, I found massive collusion between their ‘subjects’ and those in my fiction: childhood, nature, sexuality, transformation. I realized that it wasn’t by accident that I was drawn to their narrative structure and motifs Picture Quote #1

Children whose parents return to study do much better at school. Offenders who persist with studies are much less likely to reoffend. The national mental health strategy recognises the important role adult learning can play for people recovering from mental illness Picture Quote #1

I’m prepared to take advice on leisure from Prince Philip. He’s a world expert on leisure. He’s been practicing it for most of his adult life Picture Quote #1

All my adult life I’ve been in the practice of giving advice to people who are happier than I am Picture Quote #1

I was a wrestler. I played football, lacrosse. After high school, I got into jujitsu. I boxed my whole adult life Picture Quote #1

I never really had any friends my age. I’ve grown up in the adult world all my life Picture Quote #1

Growing up with a name that rhymes with turkey - and jerky - was no great fun. But, as an adult, I tell you, being globally unique in the age of Google can be extremely helpful Picture Quote #1

The YA category is an entirely new one, and seems to have more to do with readability than with age group or theme. The adult YA readers I know do actually consistently say that they are looking for an easy read, a fun read, an unchallenging read Picture Quote #1

There are some things that are more appropriate to a children’s than an adult book but there’s a huge overlapping area and most kids read an age group up anyway Picture Quote #1

Because I’m in an adult world and I’m really working, my age is just a number. It’s not really who I am Picture Quote #1

Elderly parents tend to think their relationship with their middle-aged children is smoother than the children do. Adult grandchildren, who have little stake in pulling away from their grandparents, tend to describe that relationship as less rose-colored than do Gram and Gramps Picture Quote #1

Your waking adult life is going to be spent in what you do professionally, so you’d better like the journey and not just aim for the destination Picture Quote #1

All my adult life, if I didn’t have several hours a day to sit in a room by myself, I would get antsy and irritable Picture Quote #1

I have always thought of myself as an inventor first and foremost. An engineer. An entrepreneur. In that order. I never thought of myself as an employee. But my first jobs as an adult were as an employee: at IBM, and then at my first start-up Picture Quote #1

You don’t pick who you fall in love with. There are so few people to love. It’s hard for one adult to even like another. Almost impossible Picture Quote #1

I grew up an only child, so I was so much more adult. My eldest daughter is 10, and I was so much more of an adult than she is. She just doesn’t care for the real world. She’s not interested Picture Quote #1

This is a magical and inspiring metaphor through which adult readers will identify anger issues and discover practical methods to energize enduring change Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As an adult, I’ve always found the stereotype that Jews are liberal a curious one; my parents’ circle was predominantly conservative, not just on Israel but on most political issues. Most of all, they were intensely (and this is a word I remember repeating in my own angry adolescent dialogues with myself) tribal Picture Quote #1

Adult life is dealing with an enormous amount of questions that don’t have answers Picture Quote #1

Life is all about the friendship and the love and the music. It sounds silly, but it is. I want to have that experience as much as I can as an adult, not as a kid doing something that people are telling her she has to do. If anyone gets in my way, I’m going to get them out of my way Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it’s you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself Picture Quote #1

Now, as an adult, I appreciate those memories. Mom taught me the importance of compassion for your waitress, your crossing guard, your mailman 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 came when I was in high school as part of a student exchange program with the Jewish Community Center in New Jersey, to Ramat Eliyahu. You come and volunteer for five weeks at a day camp. I was a teenager - I couldn’t really appreciate it as much, and now I come back as an adult and I can really get the flavor of the city, and I love it Picture Quote #1

I feel, as an adult, I’m very similar to how I was as a pre-teen. Maybe it’s a case of arrested development, but I feel like it’s easy to slip back into those shoes, and I feel like if we were all magically transported back to our middle school years, we’d all act like we did in middle school Picture Quote #1

I’ve been collecting art for much of my adult life. I started around 1960. And my wife and I really enjoy art a great deal. We don’t have a lot of money, so we have works on paper, but we enjoy them a great deal Picture Quote #1
