“A lot of the time with child actors, you get the feeling they’re trying to have a kind of poise or presentation that’s beyond their years that might be put on, but also might be because they’ve spent years just hanging out with adults and they don’t even have a sense of what it’s like to grow up with kids their own age.” TryingYearsKindChildrenFeelingsMightKidsAgeActorsGrowsGrowing UpAdultsHanging OutPresentationPoiseChild Actors Author:Alessandro Nivola
“Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic: it is as if creation rose luminously out of the night, all new and fresh and astonishing. Childhood is over the moment things are no longer astonishing. When the world gives you a feeling of "déjà vu," when you are used to existence, you become an adult.” IfsWorldInspirationalGivingChildrenMomentsFeelingsUsedNightExistenceMagicChildhoodCreationAdultsMiracleRoseAstonishingMagic Of Childhood Author:Eugene Ionesco
“In the usual way I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of "normal" work. In my twenties some of my work for children was published by Macmillan. However, I was twenty-seven before my adult novel, The Birthgrave, was taken by DAW Books in the USA. This enabled me finally to stop doing stupid and soul-killing jobs, and start working day and night as a professional writer. It felt like a rescue from damnation, and still does.” WayShouldChildrenDoeStillsBookSoulFeelingsJobsNightWishFeltNovelTakenStupidNormalAdultsTwentiesSevenKillingHatedUsaUsualRescuePublishersDay And NightManuscriptsDamnationDrudgery Author:Tanith Lee
“The kind of response I hope for when I write my novels for children: to give them a chance to recognize something of their own feelings -- about themselves, their parents, their friends -- and their own situation as a kind of subject race, always at the mercy of the adults who mostly run their lives for them.” GivingWritingKindChildrenFeelingsRunningParentChanceRaceSituationNovelSubjectsAdultsMercyResponse Author:Nina Bawden
“A child with an intense capacity for feeling can suffer to a degree that is beyond any degree of adult suffering, because imagination, ignorance, and the conviction of utter helplessness are untempered either by reason or by experience.” ChildrenReasonFeelingsSufferingImaginationIgnoranceDegreesAdultsCapacityConvictionIntenseHelplessness Book:Delphi Collected Works of E.
