Precocious Quotes - Page 2

• A decline in supervision is not the entire story. Even in the fifties there were undersupervised children . . . who nevertheless did not become pregnant at thirteen . . . and who did not smoke anything stronger than an occasional Camel or Lucky Strike. . . . It took a combination of unsupervised children and a permissive, highly charged sexual atmosphere and an influx of easily acquired drugs and the wherewithal to buy them to bring about precocious experimentation by young and younger children. This occurred in the mid-seventies.

• Having grown up in the theater family, having done a huge amount of acting from a very little boy to precocious teenager in Shakespeare festivals that my father produced, I went off to college and fell in with the theater gang.

• Writing from a teen's perspective is easy as pie. At least I've actually been a teen. I've never been a woman, or an ethnic minority, or a weary old man. If anything, writing from the perspective of a child is probably easier for me. When I was a kid everyone thought I was so clever and precocious. Now that I'm adult, everyone thinks that I'm kinda odd and childish.

• I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings. We do not wish to see children precocious, making great strides in their early years like sprouts, producing a soft and perishable timber, but better if they expand slowly at first, as if contending with difficulties, and so are solidified and perfected. Such trees continue to expand with nearly equal rapidity to extreme old age.

• Los niños, por supuesto, son monstruosamente convencionales, repelidos de inmediato por cualquier cosa que esté descentrada, fuera de lugar, ingobernable. Y como yo era hija única, me habían mimado mucho (también regañado). Era torpe, precoz, tímido, lleno de mis rituales y aversiones privadas.

• Nunca he pertenecido de todo corazón a un país, ni a un Estado, ni a un círculo de amigos, ni siquiera a mi propia familia. Cuando aún era un joven bastante precoz, ya me di cuenta muy vívidamente de la futilidad de las esperanzas y aspiraciones que la mayoría de los hombres persiguen a lo largo de su vida. El bienestar y la felicidad nunca me parecieron un objetivo absoluto. Incluso me inclino a comparar tales objetivos morales con las ambiciones de un cerdo.

• Aunque no era una niña extraordinariamente precoz en otros aspectos, parecía tener opiniones muy claras y correctas sobre casi todos los temas relacionados con su deber para con Dios y su prójimo; era muy sincera tanto de palabra como de obra, muy estricta en su observancia del sábado -aunque el resto de la familia no era en absoluto exigente a ese respecto-, muy diligente en sus estudios, respetuosa con sus superiores y amable con sus inferiores e iguales; y era amable, de temperamento dulce, paciente e indulgente en un grado notable.

• As a precocious teen I dreamed of being Graham Greene. Well, as it turned out, I never wrote a great novel, sadly, and I never converted to Catholicism, happily, but I did do one thing he did. That is, in middle age I moved to a seaside town and got into a right barney with the local powers-that-be.

• I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.

In the case of the original 'Thick As A Brick,' supposedly a precocious, very young child who's fantasizing about his future and the context of all the confusing elements to which school boys are subjected at that time.

• Apart from the pleasure of looking at her and listening to her-of enjoying in her what others less discriminatingly but as liberally appreciated-he had the sense, between himself and her, of a kind of free-masonry of precocious tolerance and irony. They had both, in early youth, taken the measure of the world they happened to live in: they knew just what it was worth to them and for what reasons, and the community of these reasons lent to their intimacy its last exquisite touch.
