" What are the years from twenty to forty? Fettered and bound by personal and emotional relationships. That's bound to be. That's living. But later there's a new stage. You can think, observe life, discover something about other people and the truth about yourself. Life becomes real--significant. You see it as a whole. Not just one scene--the scene you, as an actor, are playing. No man or woman is actually himself (or herself) till after forty-five. That's when individuality has a chance. "

Agatha Christie

" Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress. "

Charles Dickens

" My dear Copperfield,‚Äù he replied. ‚ÄúTo a man possessed of the higher imaginative powers, the objection to legal studies is the amount of detail which they involve. Even in our professional correspondence,‚Äù said Mr. Micawber, glancing at some letters he was writing, ‚Äúthe mind is not at liberty to soar to any exalted form of expression. Still, it is a great pursuit! A great pursuit! "
