Grew Quotes

I grew up on Lake Michigan during the PCB explosion, and I remember seeing the sick, dead fish with tumors, the weird deformed seagulls, the scum and the filth floating. We couldn’t go swimming Picture Quote #1

I saw corpses, and grew used to their unimportant look, for a dead man without any of the panoply of death is a desperately insignificant object Picture Quote #1

As a child, I didn’t know what they mean by ‘to die.’ So I grew up in a place where people used to die all the time, but a child is not allowed to see a dead body. When you ask, ‘Where is so-and so?’ you’re told, ‘He’s gone to another world where we all go to live in the future.’ Picture Quote #1

Where I grew up, in a remote village at the back of a valley, the old still thought the dead needed attending to - a notion so universal, it’s enscribed in all religions. If you didn’t, they might exact revenge upon the living Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the South, and our way of dealing with each other was teasing, ribbing, making fun and scrapping in the street. Criticism doesn’t bother me so much. It actually made me, when I was younger, more aggressive. But you get into middle age, and you lose interest in that stuff. It’s not serious Picture Quote #1

As long as Green Lantern is still dealing with fear, it’s going to be relevant. ‘Rebirth’ really grew out of 9/11. 9/11 happened, and then two years later, I was writing about fear. It was obviously connected Picture Quote #1

I was born and grew up in the Deep South, and I must say it wasn’t easy for me. I always marched to a drummer, I had different views about politics and religion and I had them relatively young Picture Quote #1

Of course, I grew up in Communist Romania, but I am happy to say that now our country is democratic, and prospering, since the revolution in 1989 Picture Quote #1

That’s where we all kind of were in the mid-1960s. Students for a Democratic Society grew from a small group of socialists at the university of Michigan into a national organization, and in many ways, its growth was driven by the Vietnam War Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Des Moines. My dad had a house full of books, things like P.G. Wodehouse books and ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte Picture Quote #1

For a long time, I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was desperate to find something that fit me and I just decided that if I could organically make a professional living out of the things that interested me, then I would be a happy person Picture Quote #1

I grew up with three brothers, so nearly everything I had was destroyed or made fun of Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a family of storytellers, but Google has destroyed us because you can fact-check everything. We’d always like the stories to be a little better than they were Picture Quote #1

I grew up on the West Side - the near West Side, [in Detroit], as they say - in what would be considered now the inner city Picture Quote #1

I grew up a Detroit Tigers fan, and now to be an owner of the Dodgers is amazing Picture Quote #1

I grew up using hearing aids, and I had speech therapy and so forth, and that helped me to develop a passion for music and helped me to develop my drumming talents Picture Quote #1

Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross and the Jackson 5, that’s what I grew up on Picture Quote #1

With Die Hard it was just something that I, you know, I grew up with those movies. I made a Die Hard movie with my friends in my backyard during high school. It was terrible Picture Quote #1

Before I was born, my mom and my dad, they used to rescue dogs, so at one point, they had 13 dogs. And they were all from different litters. It wasn’t like they were bred. They were all from different people. And they were all different ages. When I grew up at my dad’s house, I think we had seven at one point Picture Quote #1

I grew up about 30 minutes north of Boston in a town that was a virtual melting pot - I was exposed to all different backgrounds, cultures, and religions, fueling my personal interests in global issues Picture Quote #1

I think that Mexican-American kids live in a global world. It’s not even bi-, it’s multi-. You know, for those of us who grew up with different countries on our block, different nationalities, you know, we moved into multiple worlds Picture Quote #1

I grew up having two different perspectives - one in English, one in Spanish. Two different cultures, very different - but I think that, to me, it’s one. I’m just as American as I feel Latin Picture Quote #1

My mom’s Brazilian, so she and I definitely grew up with different perspectives. I was born in America, and she’s from Brazil, so we have different ways of doing things. There’s a bit of culture clash there Picture Quote #1

If I grew up in a different background, I could see myself getting a gun and shooting an abortionist. That’s my job, to imagine what could happen, what can make people go in different directions Picture Quote #1

Remember, we really grew up separately; our life experience was very different because of segregation. So I think comedy is a good space to work those things out and educate everyone about the different experiences and different race groups in South Africa Picture Quote #1

My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me Picture Quote #1

I’ll never lose my roots. I think I’m too close to my family for that. I still make my trip back to Nebraska every year, and I still love going back to Texas where I grew up, as well. I’ve just kind of had to mature a little bit more and get used to a little bit different style of life Picture Quote #1

The thing is, I grew up in L.A., so I had this unique opportunity to live in both communist Russia and see that life, and then move to America as a young girl and experience a completely different life Picture Quote #1

If there are older black people in the audience that I can see I will not say the n-word. I know they grew up with a different meaning Picture Quote #1

When people have a MakerBot, they have a different mindset from everybody else who grew up as a consumer. Instead of thinking, ‘I need to go buy that,’ they first think, ‘Do I need to go buy that? I could just MakerBot that.’ Picture Quote #1
