Appreciation, Universe, Child, You

Funny, Day, Walk, Growing Up, Trying

I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult I was starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along - where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes, but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony. Clarence Thomas

People, Wonder, Wrong, White, Starting

Childhood, Men, Gender, Learn, Carry

As a spiritual person, nature for me has always been a healing place. Going back all the way to my childhood on the farm, the fields and forests were places of adventure and self-discovery. Animals were companions and friends, and the world moved at a slower, more rational pace than the bustling cities where I'd resided my adult life. David Mixner

Life, Nature, Spiritual, Childhood, Me

I don't care what town you're born in, what city, what country. If you're a child, you are curious about your environment. You're overturning rocks. You're plucking leaves off of trees and petals off of flowers, looking inside, and you're doing things that create disorder in the lives of the adults around you. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Flowers, City, Curious, Looking, Child

Teenagers watch and listen to all kinds of things. It is the nature of being a teenager to seek out intense stuff. Stuff about death and sex and love and fear.

Love, Nature, Fear, Death, Curious, Sex

Way, Old, Extreme, Some, Found, Another

Along the way, let's never forget that once we were children and that we were all playing together without distinction of skin color, society level, or where people come from. Adults need to remember to play and to be more childlike in our behavior. We've forgotten what that childlike experience was like. Guy Laliberte

Together, Experience, Children, People

Greg Boyle

Dolls fire our collective imagination, for better and - too often - for worse. From life-size dolls the same height as the little girls who carry them, to dolls whose long hair can 'grow' longer, to Barbie and her fashionable sisters, dolls do double duty as child's play and the focus of adult art and adult fear. Ellen Datlow

Fear, Art, Imagination, Fire, Focus
