“Children always want the same things because they all need the same basic things.”

“Children understand...things far better. Adults always make things so complicated.”

“Stars are like people,.. just because they appear to emerge from the same point doesn't mean that they do. This is an illusion of perspective created by distance. Not all families manage to hold it together,..Everyone moves in different directions. That we all emerge from the same point is a misconception; to travel in different directions is the very nature of every being and every existing thing.”

“Children need close friends to help them grow up, to discover things about themselves and about life. They also need close friends to keep them sane”

“...children learn much more, far more quickly than adults. Do you know why that is? Because they're open-minded. Because they want to know and they want to learn. Adults, think they know it all. They grow up and forget so easily and instead of opening their minds and developing it they choose what to believe and what not to believe. You can't make a choice on things like that: you either believe or you don't. That's why their learning is slower. They are more cynical, they lose faith and they demend to know things that will help them get by day by day. They've no interest in the extras...It's the extras that make life.”

“...all people needed was time and then they could figure most things out of themselves.”

“...the thing about lessons: you always learn them when you don't expect them or want them.”
