“These young people naturally grow up with ideas different from ours, for they are born for times when we shall no longer be here”

“From the moment we are born, people tell us that the world is like this and like that, this way, that way. It is natural that - for a certain period of time - we end up believing what we are told. But we must soon push these ideas aside and discover our own way of living reality.”

“Our children, when young, are part of ourselves. When they grow up they are just other people.”

“You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.”

“If we never have headaches through rebuking our children, we shall have plenty of heartaches when they grow up.”

“It's so strange: grown-ups trying to become young, young ones trying to grow up and all the time, whatever people want, time moves forward, forward.”
