He wants to be grown-up. How different dreams can be! Nature will soon grant your wish.
Cornelia Funke
Those were the people who made her something, and without them she was different. She'd held on to them and to that old self tenaciously, though. She clung to it, celebrated it, worshipped it even, instead of constructing a new grown-up life for herself. For years she'd been eating the cold crumbs left over from a great feast, living on them as though they could last her forever.
Ann Brashares

Growth occurs when we discover how to remain authentically ourselves in the presence of potentially threatening things.

We are less fragile, less easily shocked and hence more capable of engaging with situations as they really are
Alain de Botton

I have always loved fairy tales, even now at the age when I am supposed to be too grown up and cynical for them.
Claire Wong
I appricated that Nell was talking to me like a grown-up, but I had no idea what she meant. Still, I could see that the words flowed together like water over a riverbed.
Silas House
The Acceptance of who you are is in the embrace of who you will become.
Ricky Maye
Kids are naturally curious about the world around them. Everything is fascinating and holds their attention as they explore their new surroundings. Adults however, have grown up hearing the word ‘no’, ‘don't do that,’ and ‘quit daydreaming so often, they create their own little world, a world with lots of limitations. What then do most adults teach to their children? ‘No’, ‘don't do that,’ and ‘quit daydreaming.’ So, what can you learn from a child today…?
James A. Murphy
When you are a grown up your brothers become your neighbors and your unconditional brotherhood become your conditional neighborhood.
Amit Kalantri
Little girls get hurt when they play grown-up games.
V.C. Andrews
Only those who'd changed could see things from a different point of view.
Toba Beta
