Tiem to start growing up!

That is a very good quote there.

I concur

Awesome, me likes ^^

When I read the title of your journal entry I rolled my eyes, assuming there was no way the quote could be as good as you claimed. Then I read it. You were right. That's an outstanding quote! ;o)

Thanks for posting it!

We had the same reaction.

Daaaamn straight!

YAY!! Inner childseses rool!

Witness that nowadays, so many movies are made using characters and plots from comic books ("Graphic Novels" for those who have to have the 'Adult' name for it).

I am 50, and damn straight I'm going to keep watching cartoons and Star Trek for whatever childish joys they may bring. The adult world is always waiting for me, a click away on CNN or HLN.

I started using that term after I actually thought about the words I was using, and realized that I was describing Watchmen as "comic". I recognize that it's deliberately going against the norm, but I'm only doing it because the norm is silly.

I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!

I'm a Toys R Us kid

I'll add my voice to the others saying "hell yeah!" about this quote. I'm a firm believer in the importance of keeping the "inner child" alive and well, and I think it's vital that we hold onto our ability to feel amazement and wonder; to imagine fun, fanciful, and even extraordinary things; to laugh and trust and love without feeling ashamed of it.

Plus, let's face it, the 1980s and 1990s had some utterly brilliant moments of "children's" entertainment, and for someone to forget how much they loved these things and lose the ability to enjoy them simply for the sake of being "grown up" would be a terrible thing. That's not even considering some of the fun things from earlier decades!

"When I was a child, I spoke like a child. Thought like a child. Felt like a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things... but I unpacked most of them when I got there."

Similar Mac Hall quote. :P

Pretty true.

Now if we could only get some of the "adults" to read this.

Wow!

If I could fav journals, then I could.

That makes sense to me.

Damn straight! That's what I've been living by for years. and this is the very first time I've ever heard somebody else say it.

Growing old is mandatory.

Maturing is optional.

:D

That was such'a good quote I will respond back with another quote. :3

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You, too? I thought I was the only one." ~ C. S. Lewis

ahmen to that

I wish there would be a faouvorite action for journals! This would be a fav!

This is indeed a amazing quote. I have my own that kind of goes along with it. Growing Old is Mandatory Growing up is Optional

Fucking yes! This is an awesome quote...

How profound...

Great find. :D

Grownups don't know shit. We enjoy what we enjoy. A child is as likely to enjoy astronomy as an adult is to enjoy cartoons.

I was the only one that found growing up distasteful. I was worrying about how I'll manage my family when I was 6!

Neato :P

Excellent quote!
