Text Quotes
I am convinced that most people do not grow up... We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias  (Growing Up Quotes) Yet you could feel a vibration in the air, a sense of hastening. It had started with the moon, inaccessible poem that it was. Now men had walked upon it, rubber treads on a pearl of the gods. Perhaps it was an awareness of time passing, the last summer of the decade. Sometimes I just wanted to raise my hands and stop. But stop what? Maybe just growing up  (Growing Up Quotes) I wondered if parents had an easier time with the secrets their children kept than children did with the secrets of their parents. A parent’s secrets seemed like some sort of betrayal, where my own just seemed like a fact of life and growing up and away. I was supposed to be independent, but he was supposed to be available. Him having his own life seemed selfish, where me having my own was the right order of things  (Growing Up Quotes) Katie is like my calendar, watching her grow and change. She is growing up so fast, learning to have opinions of her own, learning that I don’t have the answers to everything. And the moment a child begins to understand that, you know you’re in trouble  (Growing Up Quotes) Growing up is difficult. Strangely, even when we have stopped growing physically, we seem to have to keep on growing emotionally, which involves both expansion and shrinkage, as some parts of us develop and others must be allowed to disappear... Rigidity never works; we end up being the wrong size for our world  (Growing Up Quotes) I think that it is a part of growing up, learning to control our suffering. I think that when we grow up, and learn that happiness is rare, and passes quickly, we become disillusioned and hurt. And how much we suffer is a mark of how much we have been hurt by this realisation. Suffering, you see, is a kind of anger. We rage against the unfairness, the injustice of our sad and sorry lot  (Growing Up Quotes) Don’t take anything personally. Even when a situation seems so personal, even if others insult you directly, it has nothing to do with you. Their point of view and opinion come from all the programming they received growing up. When you take things personally, you feel offended and your reaction is to defend your beliefs and create conflict. You make something big out of something so little because you have the need to be right and make everybody else wrong  (Growing Up Quotes) One might equate growing up with a mistrust of words. A mature person trusts his eyes more than his ears. Irrationality often manifests itself in upholding the word against the evidence of the eyes. Children, savages and true believers remember far less what they have seen than what they have heard  (Growing Up Quotes) Girls have to fight against a lot of the same stuff we did growing up... peer pressure, exploitation, etc. But what worries me the most is this trend that caring about something isn’t cool. That it’s better to comment on something than to commit to it. That it’s so much cooler to be unmotivated and indifferent  (Growing Up Quotes) More than ever now, I believe it’s so important to look as real and true to life as possible, because nobody’s perfect. I seem to be on a mission, but I don’t want the next generation, your daughters and mine, growing up thinking that you have to be thin to look beautiful in certain clothes. It’s terrifying right now. It’s out of control. It’s beyond out of control  (Growing Up Quotes) When I was growing up, books took me away from my life to a solitary place that didn’t feel lonely. They celebrated the outcasts, people who sat on the margins of society contemplating their interiors... Books were my cure for a romanticized unhappiness, for the anxiety of impending adulthood. They were all mine, private islands with secret passwords only the worthy could utter  (Growing Up Quotes) I mean, I grew up riding. I can’t ever remember not being able to ride or rope and all that stuff. It was part of my life growing up, so it was fun for me  (Growing Up Quotes) I think from here on it’s up to me to prove that I’m growing up and that I have other things to say, but in terms of the show it definitely gave me all of the opportunities I’ve had so far  (Growing Up Quotes) When I was growing up, there were just the three channels, so as a nation we all sat down to the same meal at the end of the day. Now there’s been this explosion  (Growing Up Quotes) I think it would be very scary and very confusing if I didn’t understand where people are coming from, but I’ve felt the exact same way for so many other bands, growing up. It’s not really a big deal  (Growing Up Quotes) Growing up, I was the plain one. I had no style. I was the tough kid with the comb in the back pocket and the feathered hair  (Growing Up Quotes) I don’t think I ever set my goals that high. As a kid growing up I just wanted an opportunity to race and to be able to make a living doing it. It just came together  (Growing Up Quotes) Look at pictures of me growing up. It wasn’t always the way it is now. It was a bumpy road for me  (Growing Up Quotes) I didn’t know when I was growing up that this was a very special program, that this wasn’t going on in other parts of the country. Now I realize that I was lucky  (Growing Up Quotes) I often heard about his cases and I often sat in on his trials. In the late 1960s when I was growing up I wanted to be a crusader like him but I didn’t want to wear a suit and commute  (Growing Up Quotes) I’ve played a prostitute now three times. I don’t know how it’s come about that way. It’s just a matter of me growing up  (Growing Up Quotes) It was so inspiring for me to watch tennis growing up. I thought I was really good playing, until my brother told me I wasn’t!  (Growing Up Quotes) I think we need to do as much as we can to give back to these young kids growing up. I think we’ve done a pretty decent job so far  (Growing Up Quotes) I used to have acne when I was a kid growing up. You can imagine how serious that was in making you feel bad. And I had skinny bow legs. I mean, as a kid growing up, I was an insecure fella  (Growing Up Quotes) In some cases I feel like they haven’t appreciated enough that growing up doesn’t mean boring and old and not full of life. I like to talk about that also  (Growing Up Quotes) Well I had my kids so young that I kind of feel that I’m a kid too and am growing up with them. The things they’re interested in tend to really influence me  (Growing Up Quotes) What I am seeing right now is a man who is so dominated by his mother that he is willing to throw away his marriage in order to protect her from the trauma of growing up and acting like an adult  (Growing Up Quotes) Maybe he’s growing up. Or maybe he just needed the right circumstances to discover the best in himself  (Growing Up Quotes) Growing up, I looked up to real women. I didn’t go in for hero worship and I still don’t. Everybody has feet of clay  (Growing Up Quotes) Because our children had had the privilege of growing up where they’d raised a lot of food. They were never hungry. They could share their food with people. and so, you share your lives with people  (Growing Up Quotes)
