Text Quotes
I think men, growing up, you have to go through some form of hardship. You’ve got to harden the metal  (Growing Up Quotes) I think that there’s got to be a comic gene in some way, but it’s so much about it is how you grow up  (Growing Up Quotes) Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing. The older I got, the worse it got  (Growing Up Quotes) I love my boys. I love watching them growing up. I love seeing them develop, and I’m always looking forward to seeing what they’re going to become and what they’re going to be interested in later in life  (Growing Up Quotes) You have to make a lot of sacrifices, and the main thing you have to sacrifice is your privacy. It’s funny because when I was growing up, my daddy was and still is an insurance agent in our home town. He couldn’t go anywhere without somebody recognizing him or needing something from him  (Growing Up Quotes) When I was growing up, the blues did seem too simple to me. I was just a muso  (Growing Up Quotes) Girls, to me, growing up were very, very petty and didn’t want me to succeed and didn’t want the best for me  (Growing Up Quotes) Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It’s growing out of sour earth. And it’s strong because its hard struggle to live is making it strong. My children will be strong that way  (Growing Up Quotes) He will grow up into one of those people who lean back to smile and jump so easily it looks like slow motion and steer cars with their knees and snitch roses from gardens to give to girls and write with their left hand and own two pairs of jeans and one jacket and fall in love from such a height and so hard and so completely that they never quite recover from the drop. But at least he will have me to look out for him  (Growing Up Quotes) For some time now the impression has been growing upon me that everyone is dead. It happens when I speak to people. In the middle of a sentence it will come over me: yes, beyond a doubt this is death. There is little to do but groan and make an excuse and slip away as quickly as one can  (Growing Up Quotes) ... You don’t always get what you expect. I wish someone, sometime when I was growing up, would have told me what expectations would get me... Our parents, schools, everyone tells us things will be a certain way when we’re adults and if they’re not that way, we should make them be; or at least pretend. But after a certain point that just doesn’t work  (Growing Up Quotes) Is this what it is to get older, to have adventures you can no longer tell your family because you are moving apart from them?... Or do you grow up and have adventures you tell no one? Are some adventures only yours alone?  (Growing Up Quotes) The problem with growing up is that once you’re grown up, the people who aren’t grown up aren’t fun anymore  (Growing Up Quotes) To grow up is to wonder about things; to be grown up is to slowly forget the things you wondered about as a child  (Growing Up Quotes) Teacher: What do you want to be when you grow up? Marji: I’ll be a prophet  (Growing Up Quotes) The same old dumb teachers teaching the same old dumb subjects in the same old dumb school. I seem to be kind of losing interest in everything. At first I thought high school would be fun but it’s just dull. Everything’s dull. Maybe it’s because I’m growing up and life is becoming more blase  (Growing Up Quotes) The writing is clean. I really wouldn’t have changed a word. Most of it is true, too, except that the hero quits drinking and the girl grows up. On the last page, the couple gets married, which is a nice way for a love story to end  (Growing Up Quotes) People say you’re born innocent, but it’s not true. You inherit all kinds of things that you can do nothing about. You inherit your identity, your history, like a birthmark that you can’t wash off... We are born with our heads turned back, but my mother says we have to face into the future now. You have to earn your own innocence, she says. You have to grow up and become innocent  (Growing Up Quotes) It’s really going to happen. I really won’t ever go back to school. Not ever. I’ll never be famous or leave anything worthwhile behind. I’ll never go to college or have a job. I won’t see my brother grow up. I won’t travel, never earn money, never drive, never fall in love or leave home or get my own house. It’s really, really true. A thought stabs up, growing from my toes and ripping through me, until it stifles everything else and becomes the only thing I’m thinking. It fills me up like a silent scream  (Growing Up Quotes) The job of every generation is to discover the flaws of the one that came before it. That’s part of growing up, figuring out all the ways your parents and their friends are broken  (Growing Up Quotes) Life finds its balance. Children grow up. Second chances come along. In the meantime, I could choose to savor this moment. What good would it do to allow annoyance to interfere with gratitude?  (Growing Up Quotes) I had to find a relationship with someone who could simultaneously make me grow up and keep me forever young  (Growing Up Quotes) We had so many dreams as children. Where do they go when we grow? Are they swallowed up by the mundane things of everyday life? Or do we lose them, leave them behind us in the dust, for new children to find and take up?  (Growing Up Quotes) ... You should keep dental floss on you at all times; when your eyesight goes, quit driving; don’t keep too many secrets, eventually they’ll eat away at you. But the most valuable lesson he taught me was this: Every day we get older, and some of us get wiser, but there’s no end to our evolution. We are all a mess of contradictions; some of our traits work for us, some against us. And this is what I figured out on my own: Over the course of a lifetime, people change, but not as much as you’d think. Nobody really grows up  (Growing Up Quotes) At that age you think boys have as much personality as coat hangers and, you don’t notice their looks. Then you grow up  (Growing Up Quotes) You could grow up in the city where history was made and still miss it all  (Growing Up Quotes) We’re all strange inside. We learn how to disguise our differences as we grow up  (Growing Up Quotes) I don’t need to convince men that feminism is important, that just isn’t a goal of mine. I can’t even have that conversation of whether or not it’s important, because if someone asks me that... I don’t want to have a conversation with them until they grow up  (Growing Up Quotes) Everyone else we knew growing up is the same: image of their parents, no matter how loud they told themselves they’d be different  (Growing Up Quotes) We were still at the age when girls are years older than guy, and the guys grow up by doing their best when the girls need them to  (Growing Up Quotes)
