Famous quotes containing the words children, young, adult and/or literature:
“No parent should strive to be like another; just like our children, each of us is unique. And just as we love each of our children for being a special person, our children learn to love each of us for being a distinct parent and person.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“A young man married is a man that’s marred.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people’s patience.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
