Children Creating Adults
“Who of us is mature enough for offspring before the offspring themselves arrive? The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.”
–Peter de Vries (American Novelist and Editor, 1910-1993)
A Mark of Maturity
“The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.”
–Wilhelm Stekel (Austrian Physician and Psychologist, 1868-1940)
