Childhoods Quotes

What we did in our childhoods makes us who we are now Picture Quote #1

Vietnam was what we had instead of happy childhoods Picture Quote #1

A lot of people do have tragic childhoods. But you know what? Get over it Picture Quote #1

We all have two childhoods, the unhappy one and the happy one Picture Quote #1

What, after all, is more real to us than the geography of our childhoods? Picture Quote #1

On Michael Jackson and child stardom: He had one of the worst childhoods ever. I think I had the second Picture Quote #1

I had a great childhood. I think writers are always better off when they have more twisted childhoods, but I didn’t Picture Quote #1

Psychology doesn’t like to talk about evil. It likes to talk about bad childhoods. But I very much believe that some people are evil and motivation is not necessary for evil Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t against becoming a dad: I’d had a good childhood, as childhoods go, and as role models, my imperfect parents were as good as or better than most Picture Quote #1

So much of memory comes from the beginning of our lives when we know the world for the first time with a kind of clarity. It is that discovery of the past in the present on which a writer depends again and again as if our lost childhoods, like the surprising cyclamen plant, are forever opening new blossoms Picture Quote #1

I spent the first summer after my diagnosis creeping about in giant sun hats and tents, cursing the sun, staying inside as much as possible. Now I am beginning to think the most important thing is educated sun exposure, because the melanomas of today are not caused by today’s sunbathing, but by our childhoods and early adolescence Picture Quote #1

Those rosy memories we all share are actually memories from our favorite TV shows. We’ve confused our own childhoods with episodes of Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best, and The Brady Bunch. In real life, Ozzie had a very visible mistress for years, Bud and Kitten on Father Knows Best grew up to become major druggies, and Mom on The Brady Bunch dated her fifteen-year-old fictional son Picture Quote #1

I write for kids because I think the most interesting (and most humorous) stories come from people’s childhoods. When I was writing ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid,’ I had a blast talking on the phone to my younger brother, Patrick, remembering all of the things that happened to our family when we were growing up Picture Quote #1

The most important element of the foster care system is getting kids out of foster care and into a permanent placement so they don’t have to spend their entire childhoods in courtrooms, wondering if they will ever have a place to call home Picture Quote #1

Part of my evolution has been to learn how painful most people’s childhoods are. They grow up not liking themselves, not loving themselves. Ask people if they were lovable the minute they were born, and watch them sit back and have to think about it. One lady said, ‘I suppose so.’ That’s painful Picture Quote #1

My parents were not perfect, but no one’s parents are. As childhoods go, mine was pretty comfortable and good in a lot of ways, and yet I still ended up with anxiety Picture Quote #1

I am thrilled to write ‘The Treasure Chest,’ and to bring to life not only the childhoods of famous people from history, but also the characters of Maisie and Felix, who I hope you will fall in love with just as I have! Picture Quote #1

I was such a sullen, angry, sad kid. I’m sure there are writers who have had happy childhoods, but what are you going to write about? No ghosts, no fear. I’m very happy that I had an unhappy and uncomfortable childhood Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to separate your remembered childhood and its emotional legacy from the childhoods that are being lived out in your house, by your children. If you’re lucky, your kids will help you make that distinction Picture Quote #1

I think sometimes when our childhoods are difficult, we forget that there’s also a lot of joy Picture Quote #1

Travelling childhoods are a common theme among actors. Army kids, embassy kids, travelling salesmen, clergy. Thing is, you learn about behaviour, that different places are separated by behaviours which are culturally driven Picture Quote #1

We have to understand how the extremists got the way they are. Without that kind of understanding, we’d never really get to know them. I put in nothing about their childhoods. But what I have put in is stuff about the weird symbiotic relationship between us and them 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

Healthy parenting is especially challenging when our own childhoods weren’t healthy. It requires energy, attention, and constant restraint. Realize that you need healing. Take time out to nurture yourself Picture Quote #1

People who've had very unhappy childhoods are pretty good at inventing themselves. If nobody invents you for yourself, nothing is left but to invent yourself for others Picture Quote #1

I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we’ve ever met Picture Quote #1

People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad Picture Quote #1

Psychology doesn’t like to talk about evil. It likes to talk about bad childhoods. But I very much believe that some people are evil and motivation is not necessary for evil Picture Quote #1
