To exist is to change, to change is to mature,
to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
When you're growing up your mother says, "Wear rubbers or you'll catch cold."
When you become an adult you discover that you have the right not to
wear rubbers and to see if you catch cold or not. It's something like that.
I was wise enough to never grow up while
fooling most people into believing I had.
You grow up the day you have
your first real laugh at yourself.
When we were children, we used to think that when we were
grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is
to accept vulnerability. . . . To be alive is to be vulnerable.
