Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves.

C. S. Lewis

For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.

Benjamin Hoff

It's like the neighborhood I would have grown up in, I think, if I had have grown up here.

Alan Keyes

You've grown up, girl. You've grown up real nice, Welcome home

Elizabeth Chandler

I hadn't grown up with 'The Hobbit;' I hadn't grown up with 'Lord of The Rings,' anything like that.
