Childhood Quotes

I didn’t have a dysfunctional childhood or young adulthood, but I was somebody who was very much raised to do what other people told me to do as a person Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons that I think I do love to write is because I did have a difficult childhood and not so great teenage years. It always helped me escape from my problems Picture Quote #1

At one point in time or another, everyone’s an outcast, and you have to deal with those sort of issues in society. Especially for teenage kids, I don’t think there’s anyone that’s really been through childhood and not been an outcast in one way or another Picture Quote #1

The old rule about how a thing of beauty is a joy forever, in my experience, even the most beauteous thing is only a joy for about three hours, tops. After that, she’ll want to tell you all about her childhood traumas. Part of meeting these jail girls is it’s so sweet to look at your watch and know she’ll be behind bars in half an hour Picture Quote #1

Hors d’oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me; they remind me of one’s childhood that one goes through wondering what the next course is going to be like - and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d’oeuvres Picture Quote #1

I was raised by extremely strict - but also extremely loving - Chinese immigrant parents, and I had the most wonderful childhood! I remember laughing constantly with my parents - my dad is a real character and very funny. I certainly did wish they allowed to me do more things! Picture Quote #1

What is it like to fall asleep? What happens? Where do we go? Why don’t we remember? Since childhood most of us have wondered about the mystery of sleep Picture Quote #1

During my childhood years in a Catholic school, one teacher who was more nuts than the rest told me I’d fry in hell if I were a lesbian so I thought maybe the best idea was to be straight Picture Quote #1

People can remember their childhood, but events from four or five years ago are in a never-never land Picture Quote #1

I find myself drawn to that period where children are about to leave childhood behind. When you’re 12 years old, you still have one foot in childhood; the other is poised to enter a completely new stage of life. Your innocent understanding of the world moves towards something messier and more complicated, and once it does you can never go back Picture Quote #1

There are years from my childhood that I cannot remember and I cannot forget Picture Quote #1

Childhood isn’t just those years. It’s also the opinions you form about them afterward. That’s why our childhoods are so long Picture Quote #1

I do think it’s good to remember that childish things are made for children, and that, however pleasantly lurid the promise of a return to the clarity of childhood may be, an infatuation with the childish reveals only that one has failed to grow past it Picture Quote #1

Do not miss your children’s childhood. Do not be away 200 nights a year as I was. Do not put strains on your marriage or family Picture Quote #1

I labored for eight years thinking I was writing a book for adults that was a nostalgic look back on childhood. Then my publisher informed me I’d written a children’s book Picture Quote #1

I’m kind of a reluctant Anglophile. My mother’s a children’s librarian, and all of the children’s literature I read was from her childhood - E. Nesbit and Dickens, which isn’t children’s literature at all, but I was sort of steeped in English literature. I thought I was of that world Picture Quote #1

Our choosing the right consistently whenever the choice is placed before us creates the solid ground under our faith. It can begin in childhood, since every soul is born with the free gift of the Spirit of Christ. With that Spirit we can know when we have done what is right before God and when we have done wrong in His sight Picture Quote #1

Not a great deal is known about the factors in childhood that doubtless underlie a person’s choice of career - I’m talking now about a career to which one is passionately committed, in contradistinction to a career chosen merely as a means of earning a living Picture Quote #1

Vietnam was the defining event for my generation. It spilled over into all facets of American life - into music, into the pulpits, in churches of our country. It spilled over into the city streets, police forces. And even if you were born late in the generation, Vietnam was still part of your childhood Picture Quote #1

Mine was quite a working-class childhood with very little money, and my father was out of work a couple of times, which had quite a traumatic effect Picture Quote #1

I was the class podiatrist. I never made it to class clown. I wasn’t funny enough. I would examine feet and prescribe and ointment. It was a sad childhood Picture Quote #1

They had entered the thorny wilderness, and the golden gates of their childhood had for ever closed behind them Picture Quote #1

I think my magical dream land would have all of my friends from high school and elementary school. I’m extremely nostalgic so my closest friends are people from my childhood Picture Quote #1

All directors are control freaks and very obsessive. I get the feeling that directors as kids, they all have had a childhood with not too much contact with other kids. They constructed their own reality and they continue to do it. It’s a funny breed, directors Picture Quote #1

If I hadn’t had a childhood career, I probably would’ve signed a contract with the first person I came across Picture Quote #1

For me, writing something down was the only road out...I hated childhood, and spent it sitting behind a book waiting for adulthood to arrive. When I ran out of books I made up my own. At night, when I couldn’t sleep, I made up stories in the dark Picture Quote #1

I have very fond memories of my childhood in Afghanistan, largely because my memories, unlike those of the current generation of Afghans, are untainted by the spectre of war, landmines, and famine Picture Quote #1

My dad had a retail business in Leavenworth, Kansas, and there’s a whole bunch of prisons there, so it was a backdrop of my childhood, these ominous prisons sitting off the road Picture Quote #1

I maybe missed money in my childhood, but I didn’t miss love, that’s for sure. My dad wasn’t there, but I can tell you not even once did I think I was missing something Picture Quote #1
