Childhood comes at a time in your life when you are too young to understand what you are going through. And you're too young to understand that you are too young to understand.

Jane Wagner

The one thing that always sticks out to me was how reading to young people - even if they're not that young, even if they're too cool for school, middle schoolers - what a profound act of love it is.

Sofia Quintero

I wasn't any good at romnace. I was a total nerd. My thing is, I was just too romantic. I was the romantic goofball. I wasn't cynical enough or harsh enough. I cared too much, so I always made a fool out of myself.

Nicolas Cage

I was too young to take it all in. I was too young to even realize I was young. I was just living my life.

Tracy Austin

When she was too young to resist, or even to understand, I turned my daughter into a lifelong, rabid Yankees fan.

Gene Weingarten

Dr. Ambrose himself told Mark Nechtr...that the problem with young people, starting sometime in about the 1960s, is that they tend to live too intensely inside their own social moment, and thus tend to see all existence past age thirty or so as somehow postcoital. It's then that they'll relax, settle back, sad animals, to watch- and learn, as Ambrose himself said he learned from hard artistic and academic experience- that life instead of being rated a hard R, or even a soft R, actually rarely even makes it into distribution. Tends to be too slow.

David Foster Wallace

I will always try to be happy. I don’t think people really understand the value of happiness until they know what it’s like to be in that very, very dark place. It’s not romantic. Not even a little.

Sarah Silverman

I think I’ve always believed that there is one person in the universe who you’re truly meant for–for whom you are truly meant–and the fact that sometimes there are two or even more people on the earth you can fall in love with really bothers me. It suggests that if you work hard you can be meant for anyone.

Daniel Handler

Even with or without the show I'm always thinking of the next thing. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. That's kind of been the story of my career.

Victor Rasuk

There's something about marriage that is not as intensely romantic or interesting as a couple's first meeting.

John Sandford

I think I was just too young to even understand what was going on. When I was still living in South Africa, there was still so much racial tension.

St. Lucia

The future, for me, is romantic, I don’t understand people who say the past is romantic. Romantic, for me, is something you don’t know yet, something you can dream about, something unknown and mystical. That I find fascinating.

Raf Simons

When I was a young man, I understood that poetry was two things - it was difficult to understand, but you could understand that the poet was miserable. So for a while there, I wrote poems that were hard to understand, even by me, but gave off whiffs of misery.

Billy Collins

The protagonist of folktale is always, and intensely, a young person moving through ordeals into adult life. . . . and this is why there are no wicked stepchildren in the tales.
