I've always been drawn to and fascinated by physical and psychological change. If I'm able to make pictures of children that are so real, as you follow the children over the years in any given book, and in subsequent books they get older and older and grow up, perhaps there might be something cautionary in that visual example. Every child is going to grow up. You can see it happen in the books: They get older and older and belong to themselves to a greater and greater extent.

Rather than accepting the drifting separation of the generations, we might begin to define a more complex and interesting set of life stages and parenting passages, each emphasizing the connections to the generations ahead and behind. As I grow older, for example, I might first see my role as a parent in need of older, mentoring parents, and then become a mentoring parent myself. When I become a grandparent, I might expect to seek out older mentoring grandparents, and then later become a mentoring grandparent.

The older we grow the greater becomes our wonder at how much ignorance one can contain without bursting one's clothes.

Mark Twain

As you grow older, your music begins to mature and grow older along with you.

Zendaya

As we grow older we should become not less radical but more so.

Margaret Laurence

It's a very Aboriginal thing to do, to give younger people greater responsibilities within the community as they become able to take those responsibilities on. It is a culturally appropriate transfer of roles that involves respect in both directions.. from the younger to the older and the older to the younger.

Jackie Huggins

You become adept at mixing different colours, looks and trends as you grow older.

As you grow older, you become - everybody becomes - less inflexible and a little more accommodating.

Ratan Tata

It may be made a question whether men grow wiser as they grow older, anymore than they grow stronger or healthier or honest.

William Hazlitt

We'll need to revise the tired assumption that people automatically become more conservative as they grow older.

Charles Kennedy

Most nations, as well as people are impossible only in their youth; they become incorrigible as they grow older.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The older we women grow, the more clearly we see what men really are: hypocrites, boasters, he-goats. The older men grow, the more they doll us up with every perfection.

Jean Giraudoux

When I grew older, I thought I would become an even more special person. But, it's not true. I eat more and I know a lot more things but I just become more pathetic. Is this what it's like to grow old?

Cheon Eunbi

In time we grow older, we grow wiser, we grow smarter, and we're better. And I feel like I'm becoming more seasoned, although I don't have my salt-and-pepper hair.
