Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. – Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince, 1943
If you want to be creative, stay in part a child, with the creativity and invention that characterizes children before they are deformed by adult society. – Jean Piaget
In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children and childish adults. – Thomas Szasz
