"We have a cultural notion that if..." - Quote by Joseph Chilton Pearce

“As a child, reality is whatever one makes of it.”

“When I really want to learn about something, I write a book on it. Then the real research begins, as I begin to hear people's stories, and huge amounts of information begins to comes straight to my doorstep. Then I can write an even better book the next time!”

“For only as we ourselves, as adults, actually move and have our being in the state of love, can we be appropriate models and guides for our children. What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become.”

“My mom didn't let me eat sugar or candy until I was older.”

“We should treat children as God does us, who makes us happiest when He leaves us under the influence of innocent delusions.”

“Treat your children like the blessings they are or don't have them at all.”

“I think every human being, born from mother, and at least the next few years, you see, received immense affection from our mother. So the child's first experience in this lifetime at the beginning, I think that immense affection from other is in our blood. So therefore, the whole rest of life, other people show you smile, genuine sort of closeness feeling. You feel happy. Even animals also like that.”

“In my fifth-grade yearbook - it's right up there on the top shell - the last page says, "What about your future?" and under my name, it says, "When I grow up, I would like to be either an actor, a radio announcer, an impersonator or a comedian."”

“I was a loner as a child. I had an imaginary friend - I didn't bother with him.”
