I actually never auditioned for 'Full House.' I had done a guest appearance on 'Valerie' as the next door neighbor's niece, and from that I got into 'Full House.' I was only five years old, and I was on the show until I was 13. ~ Jodie Sweetin
Five Year Olds quotes by Jodie Sweetin
I believe in myself like a five-year-old believes in himself. They say look at me, look at me! Then they do a flip in the backyard. It won't even be that amazing, but everyone will be clapping for them. ~ Kanye West
Five Year Olds quotes by Kanye West
Anyone can run for office. When I ran for Governor of Minnesota, the only requirement was that you had to be a state resident. I believe you had to be over thirty five years old, something like that. That's the way our country was founded. That anyone can run for office. That you're not required to be a lawyer, you're not required to be anything. ~ Jesse Ventura
Five Year Olds quotes by Jesse Ventura
In a 2007 study published in the Journal of Family Psychology,3 researchers asked eighteen- to twenty-five-year-olds which criteria they felt were most indicative of adulthood. Their criteria were, in order of importance: (1) accepting responsibility for the consequences of your actions; (2) establishing a relationship with parents as an equal adult; (3) being financially independent from parents; and (4) deciding on beliefs/values independently of parents/other influences. ~ Julie Lythcott-Haims
Five Year Olds quotes by Julie Lythcott-Haims
Were you playing with Stuart? she asked.
The question was loaded. I was a filthy, filthy woman, and even the five-year-old knew it. ~ Maureen Johnson
Five Year Olds quotes by Maureen Johnson
Taking Big Bird away from our five year olds, lunch money away from our ten year olds, job training programs away from our fifteen year olds, and college loans away from our twenty year olds is a disgrace. ~ John Murray
Five Year Olds quotes by John Murray
It was in Shizuoka, where my home was. I first attended this school when I was five years old. I also attended a regular elementary school, and I was taking piano lessons with a local teacher. I began to study composition at the Yamaha school. And I continued to study there until the age of 15. ~ Hiromi
Five Year Olds quotes by Hiromi
The five-year-olds were the most important members of the large doll families. Everything pleasant happened to them. They had all the adventures. ~ Maud Hart Lovelace
Five Year Olds quotes by Maud Hart Lovelace
Then, Valentine's Day came. There was a dance, and balloons and flowers and cheaply made rings and all sorts of lame teddy bears and stuffed animals, as if teenagers can be wooed with the same shit as five-year-olds. It was the Dietzes' most hated holiday of the year, too, because it dealt with the consumerization of something sacred. Mom and Dad had agreed never to buy each other anything on the day. It was a false, Hallmark holiday. A sham. A moneymaking sideshow for insecure couples who didn't have true love. I agreed with this, for the most part. ~ A.S. King
Five Year Olds quotes by A.S. King
Many folks have asked me, 'How do you do it and why have you sacrificed so much to do this work?' The answer comes easy. I look at my daughter and find hope in that she is living in a world of struggle, of social and political movement. She and the other five-year-olds will grow up in a more just, more equitable world. She motivates me. ~ Lateefah Simon
Five Year Olds quotes by Lateefah Simon
Harry Collins was the first magician I ever saw back in 1965 when I was five years old. He was doing a magic show and I was the volunteer from the audience. ~ Lance Burton
Five Year Olds quotes by Lance Burton
My dad abandoned me when I was about two years old. So, he wasn't around to protect me the way I needed to be protected. I started getting sexually abused from the time I was about five years old to the time I was ten. It really messed with my sense of self worth and my sense of all that was good with the world, almost. ~ Pattie Mallette
Five Year Olds quotes by Pattie Mallette
For me, acting in scenes with other people is like playing soccer with a bunch of legless five year olds. It's not really fair to them, but what else can I do, you know? ~ Zach Braff
Five Year Olds quotes by Zach Braff
When I was just five years old, I loved the scary layer and the symbolical power of the red cloak. I made my mom make me that red cloak, and I had to wear it on Halloween, two years in a row. ~ Catherine Hardwicke
Five Year Olds quotes by Catherine Hardwicke
Lissa and I had been friends ever since kindergarten, when our teacher had paired us up together for writing lessons. Forcing five-year-olds to spell Vasilisa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway was beyond cruel, and we'd - or rather, I'd - responded appropriately. I'd chucked my book at out teacher and called her a fascist bastard. I hadn't known what those words meant, but I'd known how to hit a moving target.
Lissa and I had been inseparable ever since. ~ Richelle Mead
Five Year Olds quotes by Richelle Mead
I've been working since I was five years old, and everyone in my life, outside of my family, would look at us and go, "You're crazy! Take your kid out of the business and put them in school because you're never gonna succeed." ~ Chloe Grace Moretz
Five Year Olds quotes by Chloe Grace Moretz
3:12 pm
Secretly, I admit, I find many of my classmates annoying. I've often thought to myself, 'Good grief, these people are five-year-olds. Why must I spend my days among them?' But have I ever said such things aloud? No. I have been nothing but generous to them, and kept these thoughts to myself.
And how have they repaid me? Have they been grateful or kind? Ho NO! ~ Jaclyn Moriarty
Five Year Olds quotes by Jaclyn Moriarty
When I'm performing for the people, I am me, then. I am that little girl who, when she was five years old, used to sing at church. Or I'm that 15-year-old young lady who wanted to be grown and wanted to sing and couldn't wait to be smokin' a cigarette, you know? ~ Etta James
Five Year Olds quotes by Etta James
Above them, one of the blackened television screens brightens, and there's an announcement about the in-flight movie. It's an animated film about a family of ducks, one that Hadley's actually see, and when Oliver groans, shes about to deny the whole thing. But then she twists around in her seat and eyes him critically.
"There's nothing wrong with ducks," she tells him, and he rolls his eyes.
"Talking ducks?"
Hadley grins. "They sing, too."
"Don't tell me," he says. "You've already seen it."
She holds up two fingers. "Twice."
"You do know it's meant for five-year-olds, right?"
"Five- to eight-year-olds, thank you very much."
"And how old are you again?"
"Old enough to appreciate our web-footed friends."
"You," he says, laughing in spite of himself, "are a mad as a hatter."
"Wait a second," Hadley says in mock horror. "Is that a reference to a...cartoon?"
No, genius. It's a reference to a famous work of literature by Lewis Carroll. But once again, I can see how well that American education is working for you. ~ Jennifer E. Smith
Five Year Olds quotes by Jennifer E. Smith
Dr. Leonard Shlain, chairman of laparoscopic surgery at California Pacific Medical Center, said they took some four and five year-olds and gave them video games and asked them to figure out how to play them without instructions. Then they watched their brain activity with real-time monitors. At first, when they were figuring out the games, he said, the whole brain lit up. But by the time they knew how to play the games, the brain went dark, except for one little point. ~ Roger Ebert
Five Year Olds quotes by Roger Ebert
The user interface on the iPhone, with all due respect for what this invention was all about is now five years old. ~ Thorsten Heins
Five Year Olds quotes by Thorsten Heins
Privately, I consider religion to be a load of bollocks, but when you have a sobbing five year old wanting to know what happened to her hamster, you develop an instant belief in anything that dissolves some of the heartbreak off her face. ~ Tana French
Five Year Olds quotes by Tana French
I grew up in a broken home. My dad was out of the home when I was five years old. I never knew him very well. ~ Thomas Kinkade
Five Year Olds quotes by Thomas Kinkade
I loved cowboy movies when I was a kid. When I was five years old, I was already wearing a cowboy hat and suit. When I grew up, I knew John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Kirk Douglas and so on. ~ Jackie Chan
Five Year Olds quotes by Jackie Chan
The painting did not exist until I made it,' Karabekian went on. 'Now that it does exist, nothing would make me happier than to have it reproduced again and again, and vastly improved upon, by all the five-year-olds in town. I would love for your children to find pleasantly and playfully what it took me many angry years to find.

'I now give you my world of honor,' he went on, 'that the picture your city owns shows everything about life which truly matters, with nothing left out. It is a picture of the awareness of every animal. It is the immaterial core of every animal - the 'I am' to which all messages are sent. It is all that is alive in any of us - in a mouse, in a deer, in a cocktail waitress. It is unwavering and pure, no matter what preposterous adventure may befall us. A sacred picture of Saint Anthony alone is one vertical, unwavering band of light. If a cockroach were near him, or a cocktail waitress, the picture would show two such bands of light. Our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery.

'I have just heard from this cocktail waitress here, this vertical band of light, a story about her husband and an idiot who was about to be executed at Sheperdstown. Very well - let a five-year-old strip away the idiocy, the bars, the waiting electric chair, the uniform of the guard, the gun of the guard, the bones and meat of the guard. What is that perfect picture which any five-year-old ca ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Five Year Olds quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
I'm not going to lead my show talking about my kids, but will I perhaps mention my five-year-old swimming? Yeah! I think listeners groove on that because frankly, it's genuine. ~ Adam Schein
Five Year Olds quotes by Adam Schein
I ended up choosing her preschool party based on the fact that it was the closest to our house and would cause me the least amount of inconvenience when dropping her off and picking her up. I'm a busy person, what with all the laundry.

It's not that I don't care about her education. I do. But I can't be convinced, especially at her age, that it's important for her to be the first one to read. Or do equations. Or identify lots of different kinds of dinosaurs.

A lot of other moms I know seem to be concerned about this and are, in my opinion, unduly delighted with their children's progress in these areas. I'm secretly annoyed by that kind of precocious learning in the case of five-year-olds. ~ Muffy Mead-Ferro
Five Year Olds quotes by Muffy Mead-Ferro
Young children are naturally so philosophical. They ask: 'What is real? What is truth?' They have to learn it; they don't automatically know it. To them, it's a game. You can study this for years in college, and yet you probably asked it when you were four or five years old. ~ Sharon Creech
Five Year Olds quotes by Sharon Creech
To me there is no more depressing sight than a five-year-old staring at a screen, unsmiling, mouse in hand. Besides whatever dreadful things this prolonged exposure to screens is doing to their brains, computer games tend to be solitary affairs, and produce little laughter. ~ Tom Hodgkinson
Five Year Olds quotes by Tom Hodgkinson
I started acting in my parents living room when I was five years old. ~ Megan Gallagher
Five Year Olds quotes by Megan Gallagher
That other saying, I'm a part of all that I have met, I think that would have to begin with my wonderful parents back in Atlanta when I was a youngster five years old I was tongue tied. ~ Ernie Harwell
Five Year Olds quotes by Ernie Harwell
It's an odd kind of feeling because it sort of reminds me of being five again. When you're a five-year-old, you don't pay any attention to what anyone thinks of you. You just sort of are in your skin. ~ Anna Quindlen
Five Year Olds quotes by Anna Quindlen
Both the five-year-olds looked at me with bewilderment and a bit of fearful uncertainty. I had a sudden horrifying image of the woman I might become if I'm not careful: Crazy Aunt Liz. The divorcee in the muumuu with the dyed orange hair who doesn't eat dairy but smokes menthols, who's always just coming back from her astrology cruise or breaking up with her aroma-therapist boyfriend, who reads the Tarot cards of kindergarteners and says things like, Bring Aunty Liz another wine cooler, baby, and I'll let you wear my mood ring ... ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Five Year Olds quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
I've been into horror movies ever since I was five years old. ~ Kirk Hammett
Five Year Olds quotes by Kirk Hammett
There's probably no better example of the throttling of creativity than the difference between what we observe in a kindergarten classroom and what we observe in a high school classroom," she writes in Teach Your Children Well. "Take a room full of five-year-olds and you will see creativity in all its forms positively flowing around the room. A decade later you will see these same children passively sitting at their desks, half asleep or trying to decipher what will be on the next test. ~ Madeline Levine
Five Year Olds quotes by Madeline Levine
I started watching 'The Stooges' religiously and obsessively when I was probably about four or five years old till around the age of 18. ~ Chris Diamantopoulos
Five Year Olds quotes by Chris Diamantopoulos
I was born in Somerville, but I don't remember very much about it because we moved from there to Arlington when I was five years old, and it was in Arlington that I spent most of my childhood. ~ Alan Hovhaness
Five Year Olds quotes by Alan Hovhaness
The way I wrestle five-year-olds makes me think if I were ever attacked by a pack of midgets, I'd be OK. ~ Jarod Kintz
Five Year Olds quotes by Jarod Kintz
Slobodan Milosevic was just as smart as a five-year-old. Five-year-olds have an uncanny way of getting into your psyche, your self-esteem. ~ Wesley Clark
Five Year Olds quotes by Wesley Clark
Vampires and five-year-olds played by the same rules, and both threw tantrums when they lost. ~ Kim Harrison
Five Year Olds quotes by Kim Harrison
NAMBLA's infiltrated First Recon,' Person continues after bringing the vehicle to a stop. 'There's a guy in Third Platoon, hes going to be collecting photographs of all the children and sending them back to NAMBLA HQ. Back at Pendleton he volunteers at the daycare center. He goes around collecting all the turds from the five-year-olds and puts them into Copenhagen tins. Out there everyone thinks he's dipping, but it's not tobacco. It's dookie from five-year-olds. ~ Evan Wright
Five Year Olds quotes by Evan Wright
Jennifer where are you going, dear? Dinner will be ready in a minute. Your brothers found a few unattended five year olds. ~ Shakuita Johnson
Five Year Olds quotes by Shakuita Johnson
I started playing chess when I was five years old. I learned the moves from my mother, then worked with my father - and later trainers. My style became very technical. I sacrificed a lot of things. I was always hunting for the king, for the mate. I'd forget about my other pieces. ~ Garry Kasparov
Five Year Olds quotes by Garry Kasparov
Differences in reading ability between five-year olds and eight-year olds are caused primarily by the older children's possessing more knowledge, not by the differences in their memory capacities, reasoning abilities, or control of eye movements. ~ E.D. Hirsch Jr.
Five Year Olds quotes by E.D. Hirsch Jr.
No one calls me Sammy. My mother occasionally throws a "Samuel", but I am, and have always been, just Sam. Sammy is a name for five-year-olds and game show hosts and Shinny Happy People.
I am, definitely, not a Sammy ~ Melissa Keil
Five Year Olds quotes by Melissa Keil
I'm so happy. I am able to see the world just by making music, just by doing the thing that I loved doing when I was five years old. ~ Lenny Kravitz
Five Year Olds quotes by Lenny Kravitz
Your children never really grew up. Thirty year's on and they still behaved like five-year old's. One minute they were your best friend. Then you said the wrong thing and they went off like firecrackers. ~ Mark Haddon
Five Year Olds quotes by Mark Haddon
In the United States, the last recorded clitoridectomy for curing masturbation was performed in 1948
on a five year old girl. ~ Eve Ensler
Five Year Olds quotes by Eve Ensler
I listened to a Republican colleague work himself into a lather over a proposed plan to provide school breakfasts to preschoolers. Such a plan, he insisted, would crush their spirit of self-reliance. I had to point out that not too many five-year-olds I knew were self-reliant, but children who spent their formative years to hungry to learn could very well end up being charges of the state. ~ Barack Obama
Five Year Olds quotes by Barack Obama
I think that for the five-year-old watching MTV right now, Lady Gaga is going to be an iconic person. In 20 years, the people who are here and talking to journalists will be like, 'Oh Lady Gaga changed my life, Nicki Minaj changed my life.' They'll be saying who influenced them and it will be Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, artists like that. ~ Beth Ditto
Five Year Olds quotes by Beth Ditto
Playing frisbee with a five year old is amazingly similar to chasing after a frisbee. ~ Jim Gaffigan
Five Year Olds quotes by Jim Gaffigan
Having lost the training and rites that prepare a girl for becoming truly queenly, a mature woman, we have instead beauty-queen contests for five-year-olds. ~ Bill Plotkin
Five Year Olds quotes by Bill Plotkin
I was singing when I was five years old. My sister and I both had the talent from mom and dad, and she was in opera and I was into pop and uh, rhythm and blues, anything, I was about a four octave singer. ~ Carl Gardner
Five Year Olds quotes by Carl Gardner
White people in his experience were far more transparent. The most hateful rarely bothered to conceal their hostility, and when for some reason they did try to hide their feelings, they generally exhibited all the guile of five-year-olds, who cannot imagine that the world sees them other than as they wish to be seen. ~ Matt Ruff
Five Year Olds quotes by Matt Ruff
The frantic search of five-year-olds for friends can thus be seen to forecast the beginnings of a basic shift in the parent-childrelationship, a shift which will occur gradually over many long years, and in which a child needs not only the support of child allies engaged in the same struggle but also the understanding of his parents. ~ Dorothy H Cohen
Five Year Olds quotes by Dorothy H Cohen
in time-out. That's how you're acting - like five-year-olds. It's time you realized that you are sixteen and way too old for this nonsense. And you ~ Holly Jacobs
Five Year Olds quotes by Holly Jacobs
Memoirs have dominated the literary scene now for ten or 20 or even 30 years: most of them seem to use the conventions of fiction and it's astonishing how in so many of these books people seem to be able to remember conversations that took place when they were five years old and give three pages of coherent dialogue, which is utterly impossible. ~ Paul Auster
Five Year Olds quotes by Paul Auster
My mate Karl once told me he'd been looking after this five-year-old boy who – not knowing enough to have an ironic inflection to his words – said, 'I want something.' He didn't know what it was. Not 'I want sweets', or 'a can of Coke', or 'to watch the Tweenies', or whatever it is they're into now (I like Bagpuss), but 'I want something.' All of us, I think, have that feeling. And what heroin does when you first start taking it is tell you what that something is. ~ Russell Brand
Five Year Olds quotes by Russell Brand
I think all of us are always five years old in the presence and absence of our parents. ~ Sherman Alexie
Five Year Olds quotes by Sherman Alexie
The idea that I would ever end up on David Letterman or Jay Leno is horrifying. I am such a freak in comparison to most other twenty-five-year-old guys. I have no idea what other people are thinking. I'm not really in touch. ~ Jared Leto
Five Year Olds quotes by Jared Leto
Remember how excited you were when you turned five years old. Today, you should be 10 times that excited. Happy 50th birthday! ~ Franklin P. Adams
Five Year Olds quotes by Franklin P. Adams
I am known for what I'm do. But I'm not a five-year-old Hong Konger, I'm not a kid demonstrating in the streets. ~ Christopher Doyle
Five Year Olds quotes by Christopher Doyle
I did a concert at five years old in the garden of one of the church members, and we raised some money to buy a new piano in our little church. ~ Al Jarreau
Five Year Olds quotes by Al Jarreau
Overtired five-year-olds needed to be handled like explosive devices. ~ Liane Moriarty
Five Year Olds quotes by Liane Moriarty
I gazed at him. He was old enough to know that few things were fair. Most five-year-olds had already discovered it. ~ Dick Francis
Five Year Olds quotes by Dick Francis
What can you say about a twenty-five year old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant. That she loved Mozart and Bach. The Beatles. And me. ~ Erich Segal
Five Year Olds quotes by Erich Segal
Lissa and I had been best friends ever since kindergarden, when our teacher had paired us together for writing lessons. Forcing five-year-olds to spell "Vasilisa Dragomir" and "Rosemarie Hathaway" was beyond cruel and we'd -or rather, I'd- responded appropriately. I'd chucked my book at our teacher and called her a fascist bastard. I hadn't known what those words meant, but I'd known how to hit a moving target. ~ Richelle Mead
Five Year Olds quotes by Richelle Mead
...a standing ovation from five-year-olds is not to be sniffed at. ~ Jasper Fforde
Five Year Olds quotes by Jasper Fforde
I've been in contact with music since I was four or five years old through my father, because of the interest he had in music and all his musical skills. I finally managed to make that my profession. ~ Rokia Traore
Five Year Olds quotes by Rokia Traore
By the way, movies are like sporting events in that you're as good as the movie you're in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if they're dreck, it's nothing. ~ Albert Brooks
Five Year Olds quotes by Albert Brooks
I think that all of us are 5-year-olds and we don't want to be embarrassed in the schoolyard. I've gone through things in my life. People say it must be so hard to do it in the public eye, but the truth is, when you go through hard things, it's just hard. ~ Helen Hunt
Five Year Olds quotes by Helen Hunt
I like it when my five-year-old asks me if a woman in a burka on the subway is a ninja. ~ Jim Gaffigan
Five Year Olds quotes by Jim Gaffigan
[What a great way to describe how a city takes its unique "shape"...beautiful turn-of-phrase by Kieran Shields(!)]:

"It was a city of slopes, curves, and dips carved by glaciers and now criss-crossed by a network of angled streets and blocks, unfettered by any sense of regularity and uniformity. Portland's maze of cobbled roads was the result of two and a half centuries of fisherman and merchants driven by immediate necessity and that economy of steps that occurs naturally in a place where winters often lasted five months out of the year. ~ Kieran Shields
Five Year Olds quotes by Kieran Shields
... ten year olds of the world, you shouldn't believe what your teachers tell you about the beauty and specialness and uniqueness of you. Or, believe it, little snowflake, but know it won't make a bit of difference until after puberty. It's Newton's lost law: anything that makes you unique later will get your chocolate milk stolen and your eye blackened as a kid. ~ Sloane Crosley
Five Year Olds quotes by Sloane Crosley
I have to write the story I want to write. I never wrote them with a focus group of 8-year-olds in mind. I have to continue telling the story the way I want to tell it. ~ J.K. Rowling
Five Year Olds quotes by J.K. Rowling
The lovely thing about being forty is that you can appreciate twenty-five-year-old men more. ~ Colleen McCullough
Five Year Olds quotes by Colleen McCullough
The revisiting of an especially admired or loved book can become, perhaps, a five-year ritual, marking the passage of time in your life, helping you to see how you have changed, and how you have remained the same. Do not go always rushing after the new. Like the best friendships and wine, the best novels get better over the years. ~ Ella Berthoud & Susan Elderkin
Five Year Olds quotes by Ella Berthoud & Susan Elderkin
When I was in meditation, God began to speak to me, and God said, 'Roland, I have enough preachers. I need people where you are in your positions. When you are on radio, when you are on television, you speak into more people in the five minutes than some preachers speak to in an entire year.' ~ Roland Martin
Five Year Olds quotes by Roland Martin
Getting us to cities was supposed to be the final, necessary step in our assimilation, absorption, erasure, the completion of a five-hundred-year-old genocidal campaign. But the city made us new, and we made it ours. We didn't get lost amid the sprawl of tall buildings, the stream of anonymous masses, the ceaseless din of traffic. We found one another, started up Indian Centers, brought out our families and powwows, our dances, our songs, our beadwork. We bought and rented homes, slept on the streets, under freeways; we went to school, joined the armed forces, populated Indian bars in the Fruitvale in Oakland and in the Mission in San Francisco. We lived in boxcar villages in Richmond. We made art and we made babies and we made way for our people to go back and forth between reservation and city. We did not move to cities to die. The sidewalks and streets, the concrete, absorbed our heaviness. The glass, metal, rubber, and wires, the speed, the hurtling masses - the city took us in. ~ Tommy Orange
Five Year Olds quotes by Tommy Orange
If I'm writing ... even a piece of a song ... I write it down. If it still resonates six months down the line, a year, even five, those are the ones you put in your bag and you take to the studio. You come to realize, the ones that don't make it, they were only meant to live for that moment in your notebook or on the 4-track-and plenty of songs never get any farther than the 4-track. ~ M. Ward
Five Year Olds quotes by M. Ward
I try to come to Asia twice a year. I also go to Europe - to London as well as to France to see my family - four or five times a year. ~ Daniel Boulud
Five Year Olds quotes by Daniel Boulud
My family moved a lot as a kid. We started in Colorado, where I lived for five years. We moved to Chicago for two years, to San Francisco for one year, Connecticut for seven, Oregon for a couple years, and then I went to school. ~ Gus Van Sant
Five Year Olds quotes by Gus Van Sant
My junior year, I was in a play at school and five days before opening night, I still didn't know my lines. Opening night was a disaster. I was so embarrassed. The director made me work backstage for the rest of the performance. ~ Katie Leclerc
Five Year Olds quotes by Katie Leclerc
Often the mass emotions are those which seem the noblest, best and most beautiful. And yet, inside a year, five years, a decade, five decades, people will be asking, "How could you have believed that?" because events will have taken place that will have banished the said mass emotions to the dustbin of history. ~ Doris Lessing
Five Year Olds quotes by Doris Lessing
My parents still treat Christmas like I'm thirteen years old. ~ Mike Shinoda
Five Year Olds quotes by Mike Shinoda
Nine-year-olds were terrifying creatures. ~ Anonymous
Five Year Olds quotes by Anonymous
Four-year-old Eliza would be so disappointed in me. Four-year-old Eliza would be disappointed in me for a lot of things. For hiding, for making it most of the way through high school without anyone to sit with at lunch, for letting myself sink to this place. Four-year-old Eliza tried, at least. She wanted to be good at things. She did things because she wanted to do them, not because other people made her. She had no masters. I don't think any four-year-olds do.
But I'm not four anymore. I can't be her. I can't be my four-year-old self, I can't be LadyConstellation, I can't even be Wallace's girlfriend. Right now I can only be Eliza Mirk, human being. ~ Francesca Zappia
Five Year Olds quotes by Francesca Zappia
I remember in 1990, there were five of us making $3 million a year. When guys passed us, we didn't cry. Why would we cry? You didn't get mad when someone got $6 million. Or $8 million. ~ Eric Davis
Five Year Olds quotes by Eric Davis
I left 'Dr Who' after 18 months, as my character was going nowhere. In truth, I wished I had never gone into it. Afterwards, all the scripts that came my way were for 15-year olds. ~ Carole Ann Ford
Five Year Olds quotes by Carole Ann Ford
The most effective way to see if you understand a concept is to first review it and they try to explain it in your own words as if you were teaching an imaginary class or a five year old. ~ Sahil Bora
Five Year Olds quotes by Sahil Bora
Also, I was coming up on my five year anniversary of owning the house, and if there's anything I've learned in five years, it's this: if a piece of your house falls off and you don't know what to do with it, throwing it in the trash and forgetting about it is a perfectly viable option. ~ Meghan Daum
Five Year Olds quotes by Meghan Daum
Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. ~ Jane Austen
Five Year Olds quotes by Jane Austen
The turning-point [in Klosters, Switzerland in 1988]

[Diana's sister] Jane's wonderfully solid. If you ring up with a drama, she says: 'Golly, gosh, Duch, how horrible, how sad and how awful' and gets angry. But my sister Sarah swears: 'Poor Duch, such a shitty thing to happen.' My father says: 'Just remember we always love you.'
But that summer [1988] when I made so many cock-ups I sat myself down in the autumn, when I was in Scotland, and I remember saying to myself: 'Right, Diana, it's no good, you've got to change it right round, this publicity, you've got to grow up and be responsible. You've got to understand that you can't do what other 26- and 27-year olds are doing. You've been chosen to do a position so you must adapt to the position and stop fighting it.' I remember my conversation so well, sitting by water. I always sit by water when contemplating.
Stephen Twigg [a therapist] who comes to see me said once: 'Whatever anybody else thinks of you is none of your business.' That sat with me. Then once someone said to me, when I said I've got to go up to Balmoral, and they said: 'Well, you've got to put up with them but they've also got to put up with you.' This myth about me hating Balmoral--I love Scotland but just the atmosphere drains me to nothing. I go up 'strong Diana.' I come away depleted of everything because they just suck me dry, because I tune in to all their moods and, boy, are there some undercurrents there! Instead of having a holida ~ Andrew Morton
Five Year Olds quotes by Andrew Morton
I had a great deal of independence from the president and the White House during the entirety of my five years. And I'm not sure exactly what that is, but our friend, Walter Dellinger, has a theory about it, and I think he's probably right. And the theory starts with the fact that I worked in the White House for a year and a half before coming over to the position of SG. And because of that, when I was nominated, there was some chatter out there that, "Oh. They're putting a political hack in. This has never happened before." ~ Donald Verrilli Jr.
Five Year Olds quotes by Donald Verrilli Jr.
He thought of how convincingly he could describe this scene to friends and make them envy the fullness of his contentment. Why couldn't he convince himself? He had everything he'd ever wanted. He had wanted superiority
and for the last year he had been the undisputed leader of his profession. He had wanted fame
and he had five thick albums of clippings. He had wanted wealth
and he had enough to insure luxury for the rest of his life. He had everything anyone ever wanted. How many people struggled and suffered to achieve what he had achieved? How many dreamed and bled and died for this, without reaching it? ~ Ayn Rand
Five Year Olds quotes by Ayn Rand
In Vienna, when I was a year-and-a-half or two years-old. I remember it because I remember the little blue raincoat I used to wear, and how the buttons felt. I liked to walk on the street in front of our house when it was raining, and jump into all the puddles. That's weird, but that's my earliest memory. ~ Boris Kodjoe
Five Year Olds quotes by Boris Kodjoe
Who wants to be a twenty-five-year-old fat, moody, moon-faced, blind, brittle-boned diabetic with no immune system if there is any other possible way to deal with the situation? I was single. Can't you just see that match.com ad? Bloated, anemic, moody, bald, pale female seeks--anyone. Anyone! (pg 73.) ~ Carla Ulbrich
Five Year Olds quotes by Carla Ulbrich
When you have twin four-year-olds, you are able to dance like a fool, often. And I do. ~ Neil Patrick Harris
Five Year Olds quotes by Neil Patrick Harris
Earl and I actually didn't have much in common with each other, either, but we were the only ten-year-olds in Pittsburgh who liked Aguirre, the Wrath of God, and that counted for something. It actually counted for a lot. ~ Jesse Andrews
Five Year Olds quotes by Jesse Andrews
At Year Up, our students - low income 18-24 year olds - come to us having already faced substantial obstacles in life. They are not in search of a handout; what they want most of all is the ability to take ownership of their own futures. ~ Gerald Chertavian
