Adults Quotes

As far as I’m concerned, you either read books for children, or you read books for adults Picture Quote #1

Children will often write, ‘We love your books because there are no adults in them.’ Picture Quote #1

I think there are probably just as many adults who would miss the humor of my books, if not more, as there are children Picture Quote #1

Good Times’ is a story about the loss of innocence, how adults are responsible for their actions but children aren’t Picture Quote #1

We learn differently as children than as adults. For grown-ups, learning a new skill is painful, attention-demanding, and slow. Children learn unconsciously and effortlessly Picture Quote #1

I always listen, I ask children, I even ask adults in tennis, What are your children playing? And most of the time it’s not tennis. It’s pathetic Picture Quote #1

Children smile 400 times a day on average ... adults 15 times. Children laugh 150 times a day ... adults 6 times per day. Children play between 4-6 hours a day ... adults only 20 minutes a day. What’s happened? Picture Quote #1

Reading with children is an enormous gift to them. It’s a great honor to invite children to read with adults Picture Quote #1

Schools connect children to their communities. Jobs connect adults to their societies. Persons with autism deserve to walk the same path Picture Quote #1

There’s only one test of a great children’s book, or a great children’s film, and that is this: If it can be read or viewed with pleasure by adults, then it has the chance to be a great children’s film, or a great children’s book Picture Quote #1

Many adults feel that every children’s book has to teach them something.... My theory is a children’s book... can be just for fun Picture Quote #1

I labored for eight years thinking I was writing a book for adults that was a nostalgic look back on childhood. Then my publisher informed me I’d written a children’s book Picture Quote #1

Life isn’t so complicated for children. They have more time to think about the really important things. That’s why I occasionally moralise in my children’s books in a way I wouldn’t dare when writing for adults Picture Quote #1

A huge part of what a kid learns when they’re growing up is social and emotional development. As adults, we take it for granted that other people have emotions that are different from ours, and we can identify what they are, but those are skills that children have to learn Picture Quote #1

With teenagers, the emotions are higher and things are more dramatic. That doesn’t mean adults don’t also act like children in their own way Picture Quote #1

Of the primary emotions, fear is the one that bears most directly on survival. Children show fear. Adults try not to, maybe because it’s shameful, or, in some circumstances, dangerous. The fear response is automatic, though, and your body runs through its reflexes whether you want it to or not Picture Quote #1

I think any good literature, whether it’s for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children’s literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would Picture Quote #1

No one spoke in terms of children’s literature, as opposed to adult literature, until around the 1940s. It wasn’t categorised much before then. Even Grimm’s tales were written for adults. But it is true that ever since ‘Harry Potter’ there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again Picture Quote #1

You’ll notice that my books offer great variety. Some are for adults, some for children and some for teens. There are mysteries, historical novels, picture books, love stories and stories of crisis and courage Picture Quote #1

Even the very youngest children already are perfectly able to discriminate between the imaginary and the real, whether in books or movies or in their own pretend play. Children with the most elaborate and beloved imaginary friends will gently remind overenthusiastic adults that these companions are, after all, just pretend Picture Quote #1

Children are gentle and heed. Adults are tough and seize. Wise men and women have the strength and flexibility to do what’s right Picture Quote #1

I find writing for children much easier. I don’t mean it’s less demanding - you’ve got to have a talent for it and you’ve got to work very hard - but you don’t have to pull your guts out and lay them on the line in quite the same way as when you’re writing for adults Picture Quote #1

Adults sometimes think children don’t think. That’s what propels them to order children around. But children do integrate thoughts and make sense of them. When I was a child, I thought about everything in the universe Picture Quote #1

Robots already perform many functions, from making cars to defusing bombs - or, more menacingly, firing missiles. Children and adults play with toy robots, while vacuum-cleaning robots are sucking up dirt in a growing number of homes and - as evidenced by YouTube videos - entertaining cats Picture Quote #1

The greatest service that can be offered to children who show personality traits or inclinations that might not be understood by the adults around them is to allow them to express their own unique humanity Picture Quote #1

Libertarians believe consenting adults have the right to do whatever they choose, except band together Picture Quote #1

I think it just helps to be very aware that fundamentally, there are no adults. Everyone is making it up as they go along. You have to find your own path, picking, choosing, taking and discarding as you see fit Picture Quote #1

Adults are tempted to produce and perform Christmas for their kids and their families, and they arrive at Christmas Day weary and disillusioned Picture Quote #1

God knows it’s a sign of a really sick mind to see grown people, adults with responsibilities, wearing class rings Picture Quote #1
