Anatole France
“I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.”
Johnny Carson
“It's naive to think you can change a person--except maybe that boy who works in the library.”
Yeardley Smith
“In our wildest aberrations we dream of an equilibrium we have left behind and which we naively expect to find at the end of our errors. Childish presumption which justifies the fact that child-nations, inheriting our follies, are now directing our history.”
Albert Camus
“I was naive, but I certainly was not duplicitous.”
Ann Landers
“It's a naive domestic little Burgundy without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption”
James Thurber
“It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.”
Johnny Rotten
