When you’re young, people have to do everything for you, and then you grow up and you become a man and people rely on you.
We’re not adults. We’re kids until we turn 18.[Sam Weir]Maybe you are, but when I hit 13, I became a man.[Neal Schweiber]That’s only in your temple, Neal, not in the real world.[Bill Haverchuck]
We don’t always know what’s right, that’s part of growing up.
That’s what growing up’s all about. Making mistakes and letting your mother fix it all.
One day soon he won’t be a little boy anymore. It happens, just like that.[to Jimmy, about Tommy]
Mitzi, I’m disappointed. Don’t you want to grow up someday and not work?
It’s not crazy babies that worry me. It’s the men they become. Like a fire, falling in love with a fire. We try to smother them, put them out, but they just burn us up.
Honey, you shouldn’t have to be a lost middle-aged woman yet. Take it from me. It sucks. And the joy of being 17 is not knowing anything, including how hard it’s gonna get.[Beth Smith]Yeah. I guess I’m sorry for what I said. I just don’t know how to be your friend.[Summer Smith]You don’t have to be. You’re my daughter.[Beth Smith]
Growing old is horse****. But growing old alone, it’s the best.
Every child eventually comes to a bridge that they must cross alone.
Do I sometimes wish that I got to grow up? Sure. But if it had to be this way, I wouldn’t wanna be dead with anyone else, would I? You’re my best mate, Edwin. And you always will be.
All the work it takes to grow old, all those years. And then one day your worst fears arrive, and you’re still the same child.
