Childlike Quotes

…their eager, childlike attention was refreshing to see as compared with the decent, deathlike apathy of weary civilized people, in whom natural curiosity has been quenched in toil and care and poor, shallow comfort Picture Quote #1

The more we become able to become a child again, to keep ourselves childlike, the more we can understand that because we love the world and we are open to understanding, to comprehension, that when we kill the child in us, we are no longer Picture Quote #1

To stimulate creativity one must develop childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition Picture Quote #1

The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province Picture Quote #1

The world we knew as children is still buried within our minds. Our childlike self is the deepest level of our being. It is who we really are, and what is real doesn’t go away Picture Quote #1

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being Picture Quote #1

There are betrayals in war that are childlike compared with our human betrayals during peace. The new lovers enter the habits of the other. Things are smashed, revealed in a new light. This is done with nervous or tender sentences, although the heart is an organ of fire Picture Quote #1

Once born into childlike faith, brimming with belief, typical people begin to lose their faith. Society mocks them. Their friends smirk. They come to change the world, but over time the world changes them. Soon they forget who they were; they forget the faith they once had. Then one day someone tells them the truth, but they don’t want to go back, because they’re comfortable in their new skin. Being a stranger in this world is never easy Picture Quote #1

The storm lashes us, out of the confusion of grey and yellow the hail of splinters whips forth the childlike cries of the wounded, and in the night shattered life groans painfully into silence. Our hands are earth, our bodies clay and our eyes pools of rain. We do not know whether we are still alive Picture Quote #1

When we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness Picture Quote #1

To that extent that you can sustain and maintain that childlike part of your personality is probably the best part of acting Picture Quote #1

The genius is childlike. Like children he looks into the world as into a new creation and finds there a perennial source of wonder and delight Picture Quote #1

He has a childlike, boyish, impish, mischievousness. And I have to try and make him behave properly, like a holy man! Picture Quote #1

He’s not a child but he’s childlike, he’s not a grown up, he’s not a kid, maybe he sounds like an elf on helium, we’ll play with it Picture Quote #1

The childlike faith that asks not sight, waits not for wonder or for sign, believes, because it loves, aright, shall see things greater, things divine Picture Quote #1

Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy Picture Quote #1

You can be childlike without being childish. A child always wants to have fun. Ask yourself, ‘Am I having fun?’ Picture Quote #1

I have heard show business characterized as a refuge for childlike persons in flight from all things harsh and real Picture Quote #1

A man’s fatherliness is enriched as much by his acceptance of his feminine and childlike strivings as it is by his memories of tender closeness with his own father. A man who has been able to accept tenderness from his father is able later in life to be tender with his own children Picture Quote #1

The most consistent characteristic of awakened teachers and people I have met is a childlike nature. They laugh, cry, twinkle, and joke, all with a spontaneity born of freedom. Their faces are fluid and reflect a timeless sweetness, even into old age Picture Quote #1

I’m more interested in the idea of role-playing in general than the idea of role-playing in art. I like the childlike quality of making pretend or the optimistic idea of pretending something’s happening when it’s not Picture Quote #1

Painting like a child’ isn’t a negative for me... it’s something only great artists can really achieve. The childlike quality of some of Picasso’s drawings is precisely what makes them so masterful and extraordinary; the ability to express complete visions, feelings and portraits through a continuous line Picture Quote #1

Let your old age be childlike, and your childhood like old age; that is, so that neither may your wisdom be with pride, nor your humility without wisdom Picture Quote #1

[In old age] there is a childlike innocence, often, that has nothing to do with the childishness of senility. The moments become precious . . Picture Quote #1

What a magical thing is the bed, and what a vulnerable, innocent creature is the sleeping human - the human who never looks more truthful or pitiful or benign; the curled-up, childlike dreaming soul who has for a few hours become an angel adrift Picture Quote #1

The process I go through in the art and the architecture, I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it’s magical Picture Quote #1

When I wrote the eight fairy tales that appear in ‘Horse, Flower, Bird’ I was working toward a completely new form of artistic expression, trying to create a new kind of tale that also felt vintage: innocent and childlike, but haunted. I tried to write a picture-less picture book Picture Quote #1

I became disconnected from the childlike play that art could be. I spent so much time fearing I wasn’t good enough that I lost the sense that my artistic expression was worthy Picture Quote #1

I hope that there’s a difference between being childish and childlike and that I’m the latter, if you take my meaning. I often sort of wonder. I don’t think I’m a terribly good grown-up; I don’t take responsibility easily or well in many areas of life. Finance and stuff like that, I’m absolutely appalling Picture Quote #1

Apart from the fact that your physical ability starts to decline, I also think someone in their fifties being childlike becomes a little sad. You’ve got to be careful Picture Quote #1
