“Being an adult child was an awkward, inevitable position. You went about your business in the world: tooling around, giving orders, being taken seriously, but there were still these two people lurking somewhere who in a split second could reduce you to nothing. In their presence, you were a big-headed baby again, crawling instead of walking.” PeopleWorldGivingChildrenStillsTwoBigsOrderTakenPositionBabyWalkingAdultsInevitableAwkwardSplitsCrawlingLurkingAdult Children Author:Meg Wolitzer
“What comics sacrifice and what lives they live - I know that most of their lives, their adult lives, they're sitting around or walking around with notebooks, writing things down. Usually they're fairly sensitive. Usually they're very bright.

“Literally, walking down that path. I was walking to work and I passed by A.C.T. (American Conservatory Theater) in San Francisco, and they had night education classes for adults.

“When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time.

Adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to creep beneath rhododendrons, to find the spaces between fences.

“There are people who think that we cannot rule ourselves because the few times we tried, we failed, as if all the others who rule themselves today got it right the first time.

As if the adults walking past him did not crawl, once” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingFirstsTodayPastFallWalksBabyWalkingAdultsFirst TimeFall BackCrawlingButtocks Author:Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
