“Children should show great understanding towards grown-ups”

“That's the way they are. You must not hold it against them. Children should be very understanding of grown-ups.”

“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them”

“All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.”

“Look up at the sky. Ask yourself, 'Has the sheep eaten the flower or not?' And you'll see how everything changes...And no grown-up will ever understand how such a thing could be so important.”

“I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.”

“Children understand.”
