“When you're a kid, you have no power. You're physically small and weak, and adults are constantly telling you what to do. So it's incredibly compelling to imagine yourself not only as someone to whom exciting things happen but as someone who is more than those around you. The problem is that then you begin to grow up and realize you're just a lowly muggle. … Is it possible that all of us, weaned on these stories, end up inevitably disappointed with mundane life as it actually exists?” EndsStoriesProblemHappensKidsGrowsRealizingGrowing UpImagineAdultsWeakExcitingThings HappenDisappointedCompellingMundaneExciting ThingsMugglesMundane Life Author:Paul Waldman
“What distinguishes a human being from a computer? The ability to add up numbers? The ability to understand language? The ability to be logical? It is, of course, none of the above. It is the ability to play. Computers cannot have fun. They cannot fantasize. They cannot dream, they cannot experience emotion or summon intuition. These rare, precious qualities come naturally to every child on this earth yet they tend to be seen, by well meaning adults, as faults, foibles and failings. In pushing tiny toddlers to 'perform', we rob them of the ability to imagine.” HumansWellsChildrenPlayDreamEarthCoursesLanguageFunHuman BeingsAbilityNumbersEmotionQualityImagineFailingComputerAdultsAddFaultsIntuitionTinyHaving FunPushingLogicalToddlerFoibles Author:Jonathan Cainer
“I love young adult fantasies. While I say that, I have not seen all of the Twilight and Harry Potter movies. But I've read all of the books, and I love them. I love them because I enjoy being transported to a different world and having my imagination challenged. That's a huge part of what we do as actors. We have to imagine ourselves in a different world. And when you are in a young adult fantasy, it challenges you in the best way.” WorldWayBookDifferentYoungActorsEnjoyImaginationChallengesFantasyImagineLove YouHugeAdultsYoung AdultBest WayTwilightHarry PotterMy ImaginationPottersDifferent WorldsHarry Potter Movie Author:Viola Davis
“The second guy I met on the Internet was Tom, who I dated for around 6 months, which is by far the longest relationship I've ever had as an adult. We long distance dated mostly, chatting everyday for a long time on FB chat and Skype. It's hard to imagine a more genuinely caring and kind individual. I owe a lot to him.” KindLongHardGuyIndividualImagineMonthsInternetMetsLong TimeAdultsDistanceEverydayCaringTomsLong DistanceChattingSkype Author:Marie Calloway
