Today, thanks to popelaksmi i had a chance to find the quote I've been half remembering for ages:

When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

- CS Lewis

But searching for it made it better, because I found out that its a modification of a quote from the Bible:

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

I Corinthians 13:11

and to read it in context makes me feel much better about my reading habits.

( CS Lewis in context )

I really like his comment about fairy tales, I used to feel similarly about books like "Anne of Green Gables" , "What Katy Did" and teenage fantasy novels- by Tamora Pierce.

There, I've come out. I must be a grown up!
