“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

“Take a bunch of little kids to the beach and they all make art. Adults are too stupid to call it art, but it is art. They'll use their imaginations, make drama, make up characters, make pictures in the sand, they'll make up songs that no one's ever heard before. All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.” ThinkingLittlesArtCharacterUseKidsSchoolSongImaginationCreativeHeardStupidDramaAdultsBunchBeachSandLittle Kid Author:Buffy Sainte-Marie

“It doesn't take a brilliant mind to notice that adults are telling you what to do and then they do the opposite. I mean, I can't recall every stupid thing that adults were doing when I was six or seven. Some of it was the religious restrictions, where there were certain things that you were allowed to do and certain things that you weren't allowed to do, and I couldn't make sense of those things.” MindMeanI CanCertainReligiousStupidSixAdultsOppositesSevenBrilliantMake SenseRecallsRestrictionStupid ThingsVery StupidBrilliant Minds Author:Al Jaffee

People are adults and they know they're at a comedy show but every once in a while somebody isn't an adult and then for some reason, you know, it's lazy reporting.

“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsRealEndsFacesDiesEnergyBornForgetKnow HowGreaterFailingStupidBrokenShapesLosingHigh SchoolAdultsSizeScaredTeenagerLive LifeManifestationHopelessTeensTeenageInvincibleAlaskaSlyLooking For Alaska BookLabyrinth Looking For AlaskaPudgeTeenage Life Book:Looking for Alaska Source: Looking for Alaska
