Childhood quotes
" Genius is no more than childhood recaptured at will, childhood equipped now with man's physical means to express itself, and with the analytical mind that enables it to bring order into the sum of experience, involuntarily amassed. "

Charles Baudelaire
" In my own bizarre childhood, I had no mother and I didn't have a very normal upbringing with girls in my own peer group. "

John Le Carre
" People who've had very unhappy childhoods are pretty good at inventing themselves. If nobody invents you for yourself, nothing is left but to invent yourself for others. "

John Le Carre
" Remember Graham Green's dictum that childhood is the bank balance of the writer? I think that all writers feel alienated. Most of us go back to an alienated childhood in some way or another. I know that I do. "

John Le Carre
" The monsters of our childhood do not fade away, neither are they ever wholly monstrous. But neither, in my experience, do we ever reach a plane of detachment regarding our parents, however wise and old we may become. To pretend otherwise is to cheat. "

John Le Carre
" We had a really terrific childhood. It was a very happy time. We had lots of animals-dogs, guinea pigs, and so on, but no cats. Mother didn't like cats. "

Blythe Danner
" My father was a very unhappy person, very sarcastic, and my mother was very nervous and worried about what people thought. They weren't monsters, but it wasn't a good childhood. "

Paula Danziger
" The only hero known to my childhood was Henry Clay. "

Rebecca H Davis
" Even if you've gone through an average childhood, you have girlfriends who get pregnant. "

Laura Dern
" From my childhood, obedience was something I could not get out of my system. When I entered the armed service at the age of twenty-seven, I found being obedient not a bit more difficult than it had been during my life to that point. It was unthinkable that I would not follow orders. "

Adolf Eichmann
" Dreams. Dreams induce me. Seduce me. My spirit is taken by the dark and surreal and beautiful and seraphic-winged in ethereal heaven and bleeding and burning stygian vortex images that haunt me and have been doing so since early childhood. "

Kim Elizabeth
" The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death. "

Desiderius Erasmus
" When you finally go back to your old home, you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood. "

Sam Ewing
" The events of childhood do not pass, but repeat themselves like seasons of the year. "

Eleanor Farjeon
" I had a wonderful childhood, coming from Cincinnati, and I think that it was great going into the life that I was going to have, where you have to start young as a dancer. "
