Adult Quotes

The bond between a parent and child is the primary bond, the foundation for the rest of the child’s life. The presence or absence of this bond determines much about the child’s resiliency and what kind of adult they will grow up to be Picture Quote #1

I like to read fiction, and I particularly enjoy reading young adult fiction. But I also read children’s books, adult books, current authors, and classics, but I like fiction the most Picture Quote #1

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

Originally I had planned to write just a couple of children’s books and then, return the focus on adult literature. A funny thing happened along the way - I kept having new ideas, and then I looked up one day, and 30 years had passed! Picture Quote #1

Children’s books are often seen as the poor relation of literature. But children are just as demanding as adult readers, if not more so. I should know. I’m a children’s writer myself Picture Quote #1

No one spoke in terms of children’s literature, as opposed to adult literature, until around the 1940s. It wasn’t categorised much before then. Even Grimm’s tales were written for adults. But it is true that ever since ‘Harry Potter’ there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again Picture Quote #1

For me, choice is the most important thing because I’m going to be an adult actor pretty soon. So I’ve got to be choosing the right roles now so that by the time I get to that age there will be wide options available Picture Quote #1

I am actually a bit chubby, and I eat everything. I eat in a way - if my parents fed me the way I choose to eat as an adult, they would’ve lost custody Picture Quote #1

Every adult has the right to choose who they wish to spend their lives with, and we’re all capable of making mistakes, but no one escapes with their self-regard intact Picture Quote #1

Christian music was music that I grew up listening to that I can’t say has had much of an impact on anything I have done in my adult life. Maybe Christianity has, but certainly not the bullshit Christian music I was listening to when I was 12. To me there’s not much substance in that music. I don’t have a message or anything Picture Quote #1

In Toronto, I grew up taking a subway, I grew up taking a bus. I spent my formative adult years in New York City, walking the streets, taking the subway. You’re connected to the larger whole. L.A. is so spread out, and you’re so incubated inside those cars and it’s so exhausting to deal with the traffic, without really having the human contact Picture Quote #1

People are like, Why are you all dressed up? Did you dress up just for me? I’m like No, I dressed up because I’m an adult and I felt like putting on my suit. But I love it. Tom Ford and Ralph Lauren are my two heroes of clothing designers Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a Mac guy for almost my entire adult life. I wrote my first college papers on a typewriter, but by the end of my freshman year - almost 20 years ago - I was on an IBM PC. Then, in 1984, I found the Mac, and I never looked back Picture Quote #1

I became a wrestling fan in college. So, I was more of a wrestling fan as an adult than when I was a little kid Picture Quote #1

Adult Swim has cornered this really cool market, especially for comedy shows Picture Quote #1

When I was very little, four or five, I did comic strip drawings, so my first novel had no words. I couldn’t write and thought adult handwriting was a mysterious scribble. When I was 14, my grandmother gave me a typewriter and I started writing in a different way Picture Quote #1

I really like coming-of-age dramas. It’s probably the most intense period in anyone’s life, those years before you become an adult. Dramatically, there’s so much to explore there. And it’s nice to be around young talent coming through Picture Quote #1

The most confounding thing of all is that we still haven’t identified the cause of 20% to 30% of adult common colds Picture Quote #1

Who would know but ten years ago that kids would be texting each other all the time, that that would be one of their main forms of communication. And so many times, these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times, we’re putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they’re 40 years old Picture Quote #1

I am grateful to be able to participate in the adult citation program where I will complete community service Picture Quote #1

As a free-speech advocate, I believe that adults should have access to any material they want. As a parent, and a community member, I think people should be able to protect their homes from imagery - much of it violent - that is, I feel, a form of child abuse when adult society inflicts it upon children Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, I used to do a character that was just a baby - just an adult baby. I would get up onstage and complain about adult stuff, but as a baby. I was in a diaper, and I would require hugs from the audience and reassurance and stuff Picture Quote #1

I’m spoiled. All of my adult jobs have left me with complete freedom to come up with what I wanted Picture Quote #1

People love to talk about how the 70s are the only time they made movies about characters, and adult movies, and complicated people. But in the 80s, they got away with some of those too Picture Quote #1

Most children tell themselves stories in which they figure as powerful figures, enjoying the pleasures not only of the adult world as they conceive it but of a world of wonders unlike dull reality Picture Quote #1

When we talk about dystopias, especially in young adult fiction, a lot of them are essentially science fictional futures. They aren’t necessarily tied to the traditional concept of dystopia. And so in that space, my impression is that kids love reading about weird, wild, adventurous places, and dystopia fits that bill Picture Quote #1

I can recall, as a young adult, running through the rain forest at the Forest Reserve, at times feeling a sense of fear when I felt I was in danger. In danger of confronting an ugly snake or a coral snake, which represented the greatest fear of someone in a rural area when you traverse the forest Picture Quote #1

I think, as you’re growing up, your emotions are just as deep as they are when you’re an adult. You’re ability to feel lonely, longing, confused or angry are just as deep. We don’t feel things more as we get older Picture Quote #1

Emotions are messy and hard to figure out. Hard to know where you start and the next person stops. Even as an adult, that’s a hard thing to know. As a kid, it can be really confusing, because it’s all new and you’re trying to sort of make your map Picture Quote #1

I think that being a conscious parent opens your eyes to the fact that any adult relationships that you have, whenever children are present on a daily basis, that they’re modeling how they get along with people by what they see how you get along Picture Quote #1
