I wrote a letter to them saying, 'No, I don't want to collaborate,' and they kept coming back. Why would I want to be involved in moments of my childhood which I never want to return to? I want nothing to do with this film. I will never, never in a million years go to see it. (Quote by - Ted Hughes)

I had a picture-perfect childhood. My parents were like June and Ward Cleaver; there was nothing dysfunctional about them. (Quote by - Kelly Ripa)

One has to bear in mind that during my childhood and adolescence, I suffered the repression of the Somoza dictatorship in every way: economically, socially, as well as at the hands of the police -- because if we went out on the street to play baseball, for example, the police would come and beat us up and put us in prison. (Quote by - Daniel Ortega)

He asked if we could sit in private. He had this letter. It explained his life, where he was from, his childhood he was trying to tell me the way he was. The letter even talked about the woman who broke his heart. He wanted to know if I had ideas for jobs. (Quote by - Becky Garland)

If you had an essentially happy childhood, that tends to dwell with you. (Quote by - Tracy Kidder)

The trial lawyers' arguments against the beverage industry don't add up.

I take the most wrenchingly painful moments of my life, brush them off and present them for the amusement of others. Luckily for me, my childhood was torture. (Quote by - Aisha Tyler)

We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected. (Quote by - Ben Okri)

It's the place where he grew up and wrote about so many times when he recounted his childhood. (Quote by - Evelyn Hobson)
