When you finally go back to your old hometown, you find it wasn't the old home you missed but your childhood
Sam Ewing
The highlight of my childhood was making my brother laugh so hard that food came out of his nose
Garrison Keillor
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.
Marcel Proust
The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.
John Milton
We are now about to take our leave and kind farewell to our native land, the country the Great Spirit gave our Fathers, we are on the eve of leaving that country that gave us birth, it is with sorrow we are forced by the white man to quit the scenes of our childhood... we bid farewell to it and all we hold dear.
Charles Hicks
Childhood is the world of miracle and wonder; as if creation rose, bathed.
Eugene Ionesco
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams
Giorgio de Chirico
"The greatest wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more." "The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We were fortunate to have the Russians as our childhood enemies. We practiced hiding under our desks in case they had the temerity to drop a nuclear weapon.â€
Kary Mullis
We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice - that is, until we stop saying "It got lost," and say "I lost it."
Sydney J. Harris
Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age
Walter Savage Landor
Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum
Thomas Szasz
The mind which plunges into Surrealism, relives with burning excitement the best part of childhood.
Andr Breton
To have even known such a man as he was is an inestimable boon. To have been with him for so long as a child, to have known so intimately the man who above all others has understood childhood, is indeed a memory on which to look back with thanksgiving and with tears.
Isa Bowman
Baseball, to me, is still the national pastime because it is a summer game. I feel that almost all Americans are summer people, that summer is what they think of when they think of their childhood. I think it stirs up an incredible emotion within people
Steve Busby
