Cecelia Ahern Quote
You know, it’s interesting. Children learnmuch more, far more quickly than adults. Do you know why that is?Elizabeth assumed there was some scientific explanation for it, butshook her head.Because they’re open-minded. Because they want to know and theywant to learn. Adults—he shook his head sadly—think they know it all.They grow up and forget so easily instead of opening their minds, they choosewhat to believe and what not to believe. You can’t make a choice on things likethat, you either believe or you don’t. That’s why their learning is slower. Theyare more cynical, they lose faith, and they only demand to know things thatwill help them get by day by day. They’ve no interest in the extras. But, Elizabeth,he said, his voice a loud whisper, eyes wide and sparkling, and Elizabethshivered as goose pimples rose on her arms. She felt as if he were sharingthe world’s greatest secret with her.It’s the extras that make life.That make life what? she whispered.He smiled. That make life.Elizabeth swallowed the lump in her throat. That’s it?Ivan smiled. What do you mean, that’s it? How much more can you
