Adulting Quotes (page 10)

Apart from all this, I do of course have a real life. I sometimes have trouble believing in it, because it doesn't seem like the kind of life I could ever get away with, or deserve. This goes along with another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise. Margaret Atwood
Arundhati Roy quote: "I think that I was quite a grown-up child, and I have been a..."
I think that I was quite a grown-up child, and I have been a pretty childish adult. Arundhati Roy
Andre Breton quote: "There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories..."
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state. Andre Breton
I didn't realize then that so much of being adult is reconciling ourselves with the awkwardness and strangeness of our own feelings. Youth is the time of life lived for some imaginary audience Doug Coupland
Schizoid behavior is a pretty common thing in children. It's accepted, because all we adults have this unspoken agreement that children are lunatics. Stephen King
Evolution is not a genetically controlled distortion of one adult form into another; it is a genetically controlled alteration in a developmental program. Richard Dawkins
Cornelia Funke quote: "Children are caterpillars and adults are butterflies. No..."
Children are caterpillars and adults are butterflies. No butterfly ever remembers what it felt like being a caterpillar. Cornelia Funke
Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria. Wait a minute. "Once upon a time" is how all the best children's stories begin, and "prostitute" is a word for adults. How can I start a book with this apparent contradiction? But since, at every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss, let's keep that beginning. Paulo Coelho
I'm not a child, Dad. And I'm not grounded anymore, remember?' 'Oh yes, you are. Starting now.' 'For what?' 'Because I said so.' 'Do I need to remind you that I'm a legal adult, Charlie?' 'This is my house, you follow my rules!' My glare turned icy. ' If that's hoe you want it. Do you want my to move out tonight? Or can I have a few days to pack?' Charlie's face went bright red. I instantly felt horrible for playing the move-out card. I took a deep breath and tried to make my tone more... Stephenie Meyer
Charlie can't keep you from visiting your mother. She still has primary custody.''Nobody has custody of me. I'm an adult.'He flashed a brilliant smile. ' Exactly. Stephenie Meyer
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. R. L. Stine
When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness’ sake. But don’t make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles ‘em. No, you had the right answer this afternoon, but the wrong reasons. Bad language is a stage all children go through, and it dies with time when they learn they’re not attracting attention with it. Hotheadedness isn’t. Harper Lee
To die; to decide to die; that's much easier for an adolescent than for an adult. What? Doesn't death strip an adolescent of a far larger portion of future? Certainly it does, but for a young person, the future is a remote, abstract, unreal thing he doesn't really believe in. Milan Kundera
I am twenty years old. To a world-wise adult, I am little more than a child. To any child, however, I am old enough to be distrusted, to be excluded forever from the magical community of the short and beardless. Dean Koontz
All right, Schwartz, tackle my mind now. Go as deep as you want. I was born on Baronn in the Sirius Sector. I lived my life in an atmosphere of anti-Terrestrialism in the formative years, so I can't help what flaws and follies lie at the roots of my subconscious. But look on the surface and tell me if, in my adult years, I have not fought bigotry in myself. Not in others; that would be easy. But in myself, and as hard as I could. Isaac Asimov
