Famous quotes containing the word adults:
“It’s likely that adults from the caveman on have created their own fantasies of what children ought to be like and naturally have been convinced that’s precisely how as children they themselves were.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“Being offended is the natural consequence of leaving one’s home. I do not like after- shave lotion, adults who roller-skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. I do not, however, go around enacting legislation and putting up signs.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“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 (1922–1986)
