Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184

[AtlanteanTroll]

Stop caring about becoming an adult. (C.S. Lewis said something similar to this one)

Eh. Sort of. But not really. It's more like the contra-positive. I assume you mean this one?

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. ... When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

If so, it's one of my favorite quotes ever.
