Adults Quotes

Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn’t hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth Picture Quote #1

I find it really offensive when people say that the emotional experiences of teenagers are less real or less important than those of adults. I am an adult, and I used to be a teenager, and so I can tell you with some authority that my feelings then were as real as my feelings are now Picture Quote #1

Adults follow paths. Children explore. Adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to creep beneath rhododendrons, to find the spaces between fences. I was a child, which meant that I knew a dozen different ways of getting out of our property and into the lane, ways that would not involve walking down our drive Picture Quote #1

We must choose between the violence of adults and the smiles of children, between the ugliness of hate and the will to oppose it. Between inflicting suffering and humiliation on our fellow man and offering him the solidarity and hope he deserves. Or not Picture Quote #1

While you, the leader, can teach many things, character is not taught easily to adults who arrive at your desk lacking it. Be cautious about taking on reclamation projects regardless of the talent they may possess. Have the courage to make character count among the qualities you seek in others Picture Quote #1

Ten years have passed since a perfect blue sky morning turned into the blackest of nights. Since then we’ve lived in sunshine and in shadow, and although we can never unsee what happened here, we can also see that children who lost their parents have grown into young adults, grandchildren have been born and good works and public service have taken root to honor those we loved and lost Picture Quote #1

The essence of independence is to be able to do something for one’s self. Adults work to finish a task, but the child works in order to grow, and is working to create the adult, the person that is to be. Such experience is not just play... it is work he must do in order to grow up Picture Quote #1

A child is an eager observer and is particularly attracted by the actions of the adults and wants to imitate them. In this regard an adult can have a kind of mission. He can be an inspiration for the child’s actions, a kind of open book wherein a child can learn how to direct his own movements. But an adult, if he is to afford proper guidance, must always be calm and act slowly so that the child who is watching him can clearly see his actions in all their particulars Picture Quote #1

Our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these children and the families of the adults we lost... May God bless the memory of the victims and in the words of scripture heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds Picture Quote #1

Many adults play roles when they speak to young children. They use silly words and sounds. They talk down to the child. They don’t treat the child as an equal. The fact that you temporarily know more, or you’re bigger does not mean the child is not your equal Picture Quote #1

We adults protect ourselves with laws, police, workplace regulations and social norms and there is no conceivable reason why children should be left more vulnerable, other that laziness or callousness in considering what life is like from their point of view Picture Quote #1

What distinguishes our species is thought. The cerebral cortex is in a way a liberation. We need no longer be trapped in the genetically inherited behavior patterns of lizards and baboons: territoriality and aggression and dominance hierarchies. We are each of us largely responsible for what gets put in to our brains. For what as adults we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain we can change ourselves. Think of the possibilities Picture Quote #1

To talk about adults without talking about their sex drives is like talking about a window without glass Picture Quote #1

For children to take morality seriously they must be in the presence of adults who take morality seriously. And with their own eyes they must see adults take morality seriously Picture Quote #1

This is what happens when you are on the wrong side of 40. Young adults, who could be your children, are now working with you. I was playing their parents or mentor. I started to think: Oh, I am not part of that group any more Picture Quote #1

We just happened to come along at time where there hadn’t been a new young adult drama that also could appeal to adults as well in quite some time. We sort of found a little bit of a niche Picture Quote #1

You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better Picture Quote #1

I think people with open minds will observe the way we do things and realize that our goal is to have successful, happy, productive adults, and they will take our ideas and implement them elsewhere for their own children Picture Quote #1

I have known lots of adults who enjoyed similar enthusiasms as a kid and weren’t encouraged and then didn’t go anywhere with it and so they’re unhappy in their jobs as adults Picture Quote #1

I like stirring things up. I’m on the side of the kids more than I am on the adults. and occasionally I find some adults that have that same mischievous streak, so I don’t get in too much trouble Picture Quote #1

The lesson adults can learn here is that the world is filled with things for our enjoyment Picture Quote #1

Studies indicate that most of young adults struggle to grasp even the most basic financial principles that will allow them to manage money and prepare for their future Picture Quote #1

At this stage I am not involved with young adults as closely as many other writers. My children are grown up and my grandchildren are still quite young Picture Quote #1

I like to protect children. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with having adult programming for mature adults that can selectively decide what they want to watch and what they don’t want to watch Picture Quote #1

When we are children, we think that adults know how the world works. When we become adults, we know enough about the world to know that we know nothing about it Picture Quote #1

Adults aren’t generally struck with the urge to skip because their worries and burdens weigh them down and they forget that they can take themselves lightly Picture Quote #1

Study is the scourge of boyhood, the environment of youth, the indulgence of adults and the curative for the aged Picture Quote #1

If anyone did that, I absolutely apologize... Because everything we do is based at adults. We’re asking adults be responsible. You were telling me about giving your children meat and milk. They’re going to be to grow up to be tubs of lard. They’re getting heart attacks Picture Quote #1

A writer either speaks to adults and bores kids, or speaks to kids and upsets adults Picture Quote #1

I believe that kids as well as adults are entitled to books of no socially redeeming value Picture Quote #1
