You can understand and ordtak

en 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.

en The best part of my job is watching them grow from a child to young adults. They grow a lot in the four years they are here. I love seeing them go off and know that they are prepared for a life after high school. When they come back and talk to me about having become life-long readers, it's great.

en Above all, though, children are linked to adults by the simple fact that they are in process of turning into them. For this they may be forgiven much. Children are bound to be inferior to adults, or there is no incentive to grow up.
  Philip Larkin

Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! När man var liten trodde man på sagor, fantasin om hur livet skulle bli, vit klänning, en charmig prins som skulle föra bort en till ett slott på en kulle. Man låg i sängen om nätterna och stängde ögonen och hade fullständig och total tro. Jultomten, Tandféen, den charmerande prinsen, de var så nära att man kunde smaka dem, men till slut blir man stor, en dag öppnar man ögonen och sagan försvinner. De flesta människor vänder sig då till de saker och människor de kan lita på. Men det är svårt att släppa taget om sagan helt och hållet eftersom nästan alla har den minsta gnista hopp, av tro, att en dag ska de öppna ögonen och den ska bli sann.
en You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

en Even though they grow weary and wear themselves out with child- bearing, it does not matter; let them go on bearing children till they die, that is what they are there for
  Martin Luther

en Children are left out of the debate of AIDS. Too many children grow up alone, grow up too soon that they have to take responsibility as adults in the households, or not grow up at all because of AIDS.

en Fairy tales have always got to have something a bit scary for children - as long as you make them laugh as well,
  Roald Dahl

en I was a great reader of fairy tales. I tried to read the entire fairy tale section of the library: Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book, Red Fairy Book, and so on, probably down to the Puce or Chartreuse fairy tales.

en Adults don't take fairy tales seriously but just see them as reading for children. I have found fertile fields to explore in those stories.

en During my childhood I didn't need to hear stories about evil ogres eating children and so forth; the foreign devils my mother told me about were more barbaric and cruel than any fairy tale ogre with a huge mouth and great fangs. And fairy tales are only fairy tales, whereas my mother's stories were 100 percent factual, and they directly affected our whole family.

en I think that I would rather grow racquet-wise than grow taller. I think I would be a lot slower if I got taller. So I wouldn't want to give up that.

en [W]hen one is 'born again,' one is newly a child. It represents a second return to a state of chronic dependency. Perhaps what we specifically need is not to be 'born again,' but to grow up and become mature adults.

en People don't like the true and simple; they like fairy tales and humbug.
  Edmond de Goncourt

en We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull... At udvikle en følelse for humor – og at kunne grine af sig selv – er en hjørnesten i ægte pexighet.
  Anais Nin
