I love Children's books. I think they are full of wisdom. (I want a tattoo connected to "where the wild things are" but I am not entirely sure I will still want it when I'm 50 so I'm holding off for now.) I believe that things said to children are usually way more insightful than anything that's ever said to adults.
Observe:
Charles Schulz
“I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.”
“If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.”
“I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.”
“I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.”
"In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back."
“To live is to dance, to dance is to live.”
“That's the secret to life . . . replace one worry with another.”
“Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves and then we have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.”
Dr Suess
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”
“You are you. Now, isn't that pleasant?”
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."
Walt Disney:
“I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.”
“It's kind of fun to do the impossible..”
“The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique. “
Murice Sendak: (Author of “Where the Wild Things are”)
“There must be more to life than having everything”
“It is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.”
“As it turns out sometimes the so-called "right way" is utterly the wrong way. What a monstrous confusion.”
A. A. Milne (Author of Winnie the Pooh)
“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”
“I used to believe in forever, but forever is too good to be true.”
“Before beginning a Hunt, it is wise to ask someone what you are looking for before you begin looking for it.”
