Growing Up Quotes (page 10)

You can understand and relate to most people better if you look at them - no matter how old or impressive they may be - as if they are children. For most of us never really grow up or mature all that much - we simply grow taller. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales. Leo Rosten
As it happened, I didn't grow up to be the kind of woman who is the heroine in a Western, and although the men I have known have had many virtues and have taken me to live in many places I have come to love, they have never been John Wayne, and they have never taken me to the bend in the river where the cottonwoods grow. Deep in that part of my heart where artificial rain forever falls, that is still the line I want to hear. Joan Didion

Who wants to die? Everything struggles to live. Look at that tree growing up there out of that grating. It gets no sun, and water only when it rains. It's growing out of sour earth.

Picture anybody growing up so stupid he didn't know that hope is just another phase you'll grow out of. Chuck Palahniuk
All teenagers knew this was true. The process of growing up was nothing more than figuring out what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face. For years, parents tell you that you can be anything, have anything, do anything. That was why she'd been so eager to grow up-until she got to adolescence and hit a big fat wall ofreality. As it turned out, she couldn't have anything she wanted. You didn't get to be pretty or smart or popular just because you wanted it. You didn't control your own... Jodi Picoult
Alanis Morissette quote: "My greatest environments in which I can grow, or grow up, is..."
My greatest environments in which I can grow, or grow up, is in personal romantic relationships with a man. Alanis Morissette
I'm always changing. I still have the same morals and values and foundation of who I was, growing up in Jacksonville, FL, but I'm such a different person from who I was when I was 17. You live and you learn and you grow. Ashley Greene

The trick is growing up without growing old. Casey Stengel
I think one thing that kids who grow up on farms really have going for them is they have exposure to death and birth in a totally different way.

Macaulay Culkin quote: "I have a lot of growing up to do, or a lot of growing down. I..."
