Quote by William Wordsworth

The child is father of the man.

The child is father of the man.

Summary

This quote, by the poet William Wordsworth, suggests that the behavior, experiences, and personality traits of a person as an adult are shaped by their childhood. The quote implies that the essence of who we become as adults is rooted in the upbringing and early influences in our lives. Our childhood forms the foundation upon which our future selves are built, and our past experiences continually shape our present actions and mindset. In essence, our childhood selves continue to play a significant role in shaping our adult identities and behaviors.

I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask, I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts, to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.

Every November on National Adoption Day, courts set aside time to finalize adoptions from foster care that might otherwise be delayed for months, and communities celebrate adoption with retreats, proclamations, and other events. National Adoption Day was started in 2000 and has grown each year. In 2004, courts and community organizations finalized the adoptions of more than 3,400 children from foster care as part of 200 National Adoption Day events in 37 states.
