It takes a long time to become young.
It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.
Forty is the old age of youth; fifty the youth of old age.
Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.
The magical story is not a microscope but a mirror, not a drop of water but a well. It is not simply one thing or two, but a multitude. It is at once both lucid and opaque, it accepts both dark and light, speaks to youth and old age.
The popular mythology of creative genius depends on beloved stereotypes of the artist in youth and old age: the misunderstood upstart who forces us to see the world afresh; and the revered sage who shows us depths of insight attainable only through a lifetime of hard-won experience.
