Childhoods Quotes

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

We are all refugees from our childhoods. And so we turn, among other things, to stories. To write a story, to read a story, is to be a refugee from the state of refugees. Writers and readers seek a solution to the problem that time passes, that those who have gone are gone and those who will go, which is to say every one of us, will go. For there was a moment when anything was possible. And there will be a moment when nothing is possible. But in between we can create Picture Quote #1

And this is what we called our childhoods. Little more than a dress rehearsal for adding our digits to the butcher’s bill of war Picture Quote #1

Everything we are is anchored in our childhoods. The drama comes in how we deal with it. Are we slaves to our past, or can we rise above it? This is the stuff of great stories Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to say. Sometimes people have had terrible childhoods. And sometimes they just haven’t found their special place in life. And sometimes they’re dogs from hell and must be destroyed Picture Quote #1

Our lives are determined less by our childhood than by the traumatic way we have learned to remember our childhoods Picture Quote #1

I think if everyone would write down the funny stories from their own childhoods, the world would be a better place Picture Quote #1

People who’ve had happy childhoods are wonderful, but they’re bland... An unhappy childhood compels you to use your imagination to create a world in which you can be happy. Use your old grief. That’s the gift you’re given Picture Quote #1

Athletes don’t have much use for poking around in their childhoods, because, introspection doesn’t get you anywhere in a race Picture Quote #1

... it is true, even people with painful childhoods... grow up to be more interesting people. So, there’s always a positive to a negative Picture Quote #1

I see my parents as tiny children who need love. I have compassion for my parents’ childhoods. I now know that I chose them because they were perfect for what I had to learn. I forgive them and set them free, and I set myself free Picture Quote #1

Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potential 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
