Childhood, young adulthood is fluid. And it's very easy to get labeled very young and have to carry something through your childhood and into your adulthood that is not necessarily who you are.

Jacqueline Woodson

I started reading and fell in love with the worlds and characters Lev Grossman created. I'm taken with his exploration of an idealized childhood fantasy through the lens of adulthood, or coming into adulthood.

Hale Appleman

After all, isn't that what really draws the line between childhood and adulthood, knowing that you are solely responsible for yourself? If so, then my childhood ended at fifteen.

LIZ

I had a beautiful childhood, so my adulthood has been really frustrating because it's - half the time it hasn't been as good as my childhood.

John Lautner

Yeah, we were looking for a way to represent adulthood and the passing into adulthood. And I think, for me personally and a lot of the folks that I work with, childhood is kind of a sacred, special kind of point in time that has a real joy and purity to it. And we sort of long on a daily basis to reach back and kind of grab onto that in some way.

Pete Docter

Adolescence is the conjugator of childhood and adulthood.

Louise J. Kaplan

Adulthood was invented to repair the wounds of childhood.

Joy Browne

Everything in adulthood can be traced back to childhood.

Penny Junor

Dance. Dance for the joy and breath of childhood. Dance for all children, including that child who is still somewhere entombed beneath the responsibility and skepticism of adulthood. Embrace the moment before it escapes from our grasp. For the only promise of childhood, of any childhood, is that it will someday end. And in the end, we must ask ourselves what we have given our children to take its place. And is it enough?

Richard Paul Evans

A pony is a childhood dream. A horse is an adulthood treasure.

Rebecca Carroll

Success is becoming in middle adulthood what you dreamed to be in late childhood.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I hated childhood / I hate adulthood / And I love being alive.

Mary Ruefle

Childhood and adulthood were not factors of age but states of mind.

Alex Shakar

Reading is the scourge of childhood because, in a sense, it creates adulthood.

Neil Postman

When you reach a certain age, you have fulfilled your childhood dream and whatever your first or second adulthood led you to do. Then you're in your third adulthood, the one that leads to the grave, and you ask yourself, "What will I do between now and then?" Instead of thinking in terms of glamour, you start thinking in terms of reform - your contribution to the world.

Bette Midler

I hated childhood, and spent it sitting behind a book waiting for adulthood to arrive.

Anne Tyler
