I loved to write when I was a child. I wrote, but I always thought it was something that you did as a child, then you put away childish things. ↗

A lot of comic actors derive their main force from childish behavior. Most great comics are doing such silly things; you'd say, 'That's what a child would do.' ↗

When I was a little girl, everything in the world fell into either of these two categories: wrong or right. Black or white. Now that I am an adult, I have put childish things aside and now I know that some things fall into wrong and some things fall into right. Some things are categorized as black and some things are categorized as white. But most things in the world aren't either! Most things in the world aren't black, aren't white, aren't wrong, aren't right, but most of everything is just different. And now I know that there's nothing wrong with different, and that we can let things be different, we don't have to try and make them black or white, we can just let them be grey. And when I was a child, I thought that God was the God who only saw black and white. Now that I am no longer a child, I can see, that God is the God who can see the black and the white and the grey, too, and He dances on the grey! Grey is okay. ↗

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish. ↗

Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children. ↗

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films. ↗

Feeling bored is a childish attitude. You wouldn't feel so if you don't rely on somebody to change your feeling. ↗

A childish feeling, I admit, but, when we retire from the conventions of society and draw close to nature, we involuntarily become children: each attribute acquired by experience falls away from the soul, which becomes anew such as it was once and will surely be again. ↗
