"I spent my whole childhood watching open-wheel racing. I spent years going to England and racing open wheel, coming back and racing open wheel. It's been my world for 20 years and beyond that. For almost my whole life, I've been watching it. I watch it and I think I know how to do it."
Quote by -Danica Patrick
"Bringing my two children up while writing was just a part of life. I'd much rather have had their interruptions than been stuck in a sterile office. This way, I had welcome distractions. I had to load the washing machine, I had to go out and buy lemons."
Quote by -Deborah Moggach
"Whatever I had read as a child about the saints had thrilled me. I could see the nobility of giving one's life for the sick, the maimed, the leper. But there was another question in my mind. Why was so much done in remedying the evil instead of avoiding it in the first place? Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?"
Quote by -Dorothy Day
"Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age. The child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies."

"When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air, or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention. But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me."
Quote by -Fred Rogers
"I was spoiled in a very strange way as a child, because everybody told me, from the moment I was able to hear, that I was absolutely marvelous, and I never heard a discouraging word for years, you see. I didn't know what was ahead of me."
Quote by -George Orson Welles
"I'm extremely surprised to learn that a story, which has become familiar to children through the medium of comic strips and many succeeding novels and adventure stories, should have had such an immediate and profound effect upon radio listeners."
Quote by -George Orson Welles
"A child's giggle tickles me deeply, and it breaks my heart when that begins to disappear. So I do what I can to create opportunities for children to continue to laugh and rediscover their joy."
Quote by -Goldie Hawn
"A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five."
Quote by -Groucho Marx
"Are we Pakistanis, children of a lesser God? Is there one law for the west and one for us? Is our democracy supposed to be only democracy if you give us a no objection certificate?"
Quote by -Imran Khan
"...eyes that, like those of children, look at an eternal present without forgiveness."
Quote by -Italo Calvino
The old who have died live on in the young ones. Don’t you feel this now in your bereavement, when you look at your children?
Quote by -Albert Einstein
Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child’s eye – it is very beautiful.
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.
Quote by -Rumi
“Any one thinking of the Holy Child as born in December would mean by it exactly what we mean by it; that Christ is not merely a summer sun of the prosperous but a winter fire for the unfortunate.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“I had wanted to escape my traveling childhood, yet I was traveling and making the discovery that ordinary people are smart, smart people are ordinary, decisions are best made by the people affected by them, and human beings have an almost infinite capacity for adapting to the expectations around us - which is both the good and the bad news”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit. The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am rich and famous. I have a talented and gorgeous husband and two beautiful children. I could go on.
Quote by -Madonna
"I was lucky. My parents and teachers provided me with a wonderful and secure childhood where I always knew I was loved, valued, and listened to."
Quote by -Kate Middleton
“Every problem becomes very childish when once it is explained to you.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
My childhood name that my father gave me, my mother, my grandmother, grandfather, family and friends all call me T.I.P.
Quote by -Clifford Joseph Harris Jr
… It is not healing to see your childhood home, but it helps you measure whether you are broken, and how and why, assuming you want to know.
Quote by -Thomas Harris
My childhood was extremely lonely. I was dyslexic and lots of kids make fun of me. That experience made me tough inside, because you learn to quietly accept ridicule.
Quote by -Tom Cruise
I write the way women have babies. You don't know it's going to be like that. If you did, there's no way you would go through with it.
Quote by -Toni Morrison
My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong.
Quote by -Travis Barker
I didn't have a catharsis for my childhood pain, most of us don't, and until I learned how to forgive those people and let it go, I was unhappy.
Quote by -Tyler Perry
If I hadn't had a childhood career, I probably would've signed a contract with the first person I came across.
Quote by -Shania Twain
Since my earliest childhood a barb of sorrow has lodged in my heart. As long as it stays I am ironic if it is pulled out I shall die.
Quote by -Soren Kierkegaard
By 12, my body had changed, although instead of blossoming into Cindy Mancini from 'Can't Buy Me Love,' I more closely resembled Chunk from 'The Goonies.' My inside world may have been filled with a poetic and vital feminine life force, but the outside world saw and told me otherwise.
