Kids Quotes

I still think most writers are just kids who refuse to grow up. We’re still playing imaginary games, with our imaginary friends Picture Quote #1

I’ve read plenty of amazing science pieces where the writers don’t hang out in labs. I just have fun doing it. And I get rewarded for it; I get gushy, especially when kids tell me they expected to be bored by my books, but weren’t Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a cartoonist. I was one of those kids who sat around and drew in my room all the time Picture Quote #1

I’ve actually suffered from allergies my entire life. My mom had allergies, so I was aware of what an issue they can be. Many people allow their allergies to affect their lives. As a mom with two kids and two jobs, I just can’t let allergies slow me down. It’s a day to day thing that can really be remedied by finding the right medication Picture Quote #1

Kids still can be said to live in their own little world. Even if their parents are helicoptering around them, assigning play dates and so forth, I think they’re still living in some sense of their own little perceptual worlds Picture Quote #1

In general, you don’t want to move your kids when they’re teenagers. They’re not going to be happy with you Picture Quote #1

Here’s the teaching point, if you’re teaching kids about intelligence and policy: Intelligence does not absolve policymakers of responsibility to ask tough questions, and it doesn’t absolve them of having curiosity about the consequences of their actions Picture Quote #1

I watched my parents go from having very basic jobs to educating themselves, to buying a house. They set a really good bar for what they wanted their kids to achieve Picture Quote #1

I don’t swear much; I’ve taken those words out of my vocabulary, and having kids, you have to have two sets of language! Picture Quote #1

When I was 17, I was always hanging out with the older kids, and a lot of times, the kids that graduated would come back and play pranks. I was a huge, huge, huge prankster 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’ve sometimes thought that it’s only by recalling that desperate devotion my kids once felt for me that I can maintain my own desperate devotion in the face of their adolescent sneering Picture Quote #1

My own husband was divorced when we met, but without kids. I don’t know what I would have done if he’d had them. I got the message very early on that the worst mistake a woman can make is marrying a man with children Picture Quote #1

I think you really have to become a parent to understand what you will endure to be there for your kids Picture Quote #1

My kids are at a point in their lives where I’m a moral compass for them. God help them both Picture Quote #1

I guess some kids around me had to grow up quickly, had all those problems. But I wasn’t one of those kids, or around those kids, not at all Picture Quote #1

Little kids grow up discovering the world that’s shown to them and then when you become a teenager, it kind of shrinks a little bit. I think when you get past that point, one of the important things is that you see there is more to the world than yourself Picture Quote #1

Early on I came to realize something, and it came from the mail I received from kids. That is, kids at that pivotal age, 12, 13 or 14, they’re still deeply affected by what they read, some are changed by what they read, books can change the way they feel about the world in general. I don’t think that’s true of adults as much Picture Quote #1

I don’t for one second think about the possibility of censorship when I am writing a new book. I know I am a person who cares about kids and who cares about truth and I am guided by my own instincts, and trust them Picture Quote #1

I often compare myself as a kid to my own grandchildren, who are around 11 and 14 now. That’s the age kids usually read my book. And I remember myself; we’d gone through a world war. My father was an army officer so I was aware of what was going on. But I wasn’t bombarded with images of catastrophe like many kids are today Picture Quote #1

Kids are wandering around the streets today that will become tomorrow’s criminals that were yesterday’s heroes Picture Quote #1

Once I started the first school, I realized this is what my life is meant to be, is to promote education and help kids go to school, and that’s very clear Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t say in all situations, but a lot of times kids can be the most reasonable people around because they don’t have the deal with all the drama that goes along with being an adult Picture Quote #1
