Text Quotes
As children, as we learn what things are, we are slowly learning to dismiss them visually. As adults, entirely submerged in words and concepts, we spend almost all of our time thinking and worrying about the past and the future, hardly ever looking at or engaging with the world visually  (Adults Quotes) I’m thought of as a celebrity. Everything I’ve ever done... has been for children. As long as I was working constantly, that was fine, because, although I don’t have any children, I do relate better to them than adults  (Adults Quotes) I’m not terribly conversant with children’s literature in general. I tend to read books for adults, being an adult  (Adults Quotes) 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  (Adults Quotes) Children should always feel like the adults are living in this world to nurture them, to take care of them, to protect them from any bad thing that might come  (Adults Quotes) A book is actually a place, a place where we, as adults, still have the chance to engage in active imagining, translating word to image, connecting these images to memories, dreams, and larger ideas. Television, film, even the stage play, have already been imagined for us, but the book, in whatever form we choose to interact with it, forces us to complete it  (Adults Quotes) I am not really much interested in talking to adults, although I suppose practically every mother in the kingdom knows my name and my books. It’s their children I love  (Adults Quotes) I’ve been an avid consumer of young adult literature since I was one, and I think some people leave that stuff behind when they become old adults, but I never did. I was always interested in the fantasy world created in those novels  (Adults Quotes) It was a dangerous profession I had chosen... because no one likes a funny kid. In fact, adults are scared silly of them and tend to warn children who act out that they are going to wind up in prison or worse. It is only when you grow up that they pay you vast sums of money to make them laugh  (Adults Quotes) The laughter of adults was always very different from the laughter of children. The former indicated a recognition of the familiar, but in children it came from the shock of the new  (Adults Quotes) We commonly see problems in adults that had been present since childhood but which take a toll on the heart over time  (Adults Quotes) We know that children need help to read, and the best time to start them reading is very young. We believe that when children see adults from all walks of life and from throughout the community reading to them, that is another opportunity for children to see the importance of reading  (Adults Quotes) Adults are interested if you don’t play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don’t believe in talking down to children. I don’t believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching  (Adults Quotes) A lot of what children go through is because you adults don’t carry the burden yourself  (Adults Quotes) The key is that unless there is accountability, we will never get the right system. As long as there are no consequences if kids or adults don’t perform, as long as the discussion is not about education and student outcomes, then we’re playing a game as to who has the power  (Adults Quotes) The truth is that we were born to have it all. And part of our handicap as adults is that we no longer understand our potential  (Adults Quotes) Why is it that adults are always telling kids to go watch television as though we have nothing better to do?  (Adults Quotes) Children, it should be repeated, are not pocket editions of adults, because childhood is a period of physical growth and development, a period of preparation for adult responsibility and public and private life. A program of children cannot be merely an adaptation of the program for adults, nor should it be curtailed during periods of depression or emergency expansion of other programs  (Adults Quotes) When we’re young nothing offends us, except adults telling us what should. Then when we become adults, nothing offends us, except we are offended on behalf of our young  (Adults Quotes) Kids don’t talk like adults, but kids on the spectrum don’t necessarily fall into the same patterns of speaking or have the same interests as other kids their age  (Adults Quotes) The dramatic sufferings of adults and all the cruel fantasies of those of my own age, who seemed abandoned to their own impulses in the midst of so many catastrophes, appeared to inscribe themselves on the walls around me  (Adults Quotes) The first thing to understand about working with children’s dreams is that adults need to listen up  (Adults Quotes) People are responsible adults at home. Why do we suddenly transform them into adolescents with no freedom when they reach the workplace?  (Adults Quotes) I’m not interested in writing for adults. I like them as people! I don’t like the way they publish books in that world. Nothing ever gets a chance  (Adults Quotes) Kids want nothing more than for all the important adults in their life to get along  (Adults Quotes) A child, not knowing what is extraordinary and what is commonplace, usually lights midway between the two, finds interest in incidents adults consider beneath notice, and calmly accepts the most improbable occurrences  (Adults Quotes) From dwarf tossing to drug taking: The legislator has no place in voluntary exchanges between consenting adults, as dodgy and as dangerous as these might be  (Adults Quotes) Kids like my act because I’m wearing nose glasses. Adults like my act because there’s a guy who thinks putting on nose glasses is funny  (Adults Quotes) I think teenagers bring a lot of intellectual sophistication. They’re wrestling with big questions. It’s just that, a lot of times they do that separately from adults  (Adults Quotes) In fact, writing for younger adults is tougher. They remember everything and if they spot a problem, they’ll be sure to let you know  (Adults Quotes)
