What are some quotes in The Secret Life of Bees that describe the innocence childhood?

- "Everything ends," Rosaleen said. "I remember feeling that way when I was little, too. Then my momma told me, 'Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future.' The thing about time is, even when it seems like it's taking its time, moving slow as molasses, it passes. And even when you don't see it happening, slipping away quiet like, it's always moving into the future."

- "Lily," she said, "do you remember when we used to pretend we were queens? We'd run around the yard with skirts over our heads and call ourselves Elizabeth and Isabella. And we'd have tea parties on the porch and serve invisible cake and pretend it was the most delicious thing we'd ever tasted. We were always so happy then."

- "I remember when I was little, my momma used to say that the stars are holes in the sky that let the light from heaven shine through. She said that each star is a person who has died and gone to heaven. And that when you see a shooting star, it's because someone is being born on earth. I used to believe that."
