“I’d pretty well come to the point- the age you might say- when a man knows what he’s losing with every hour that passes. But he hasn't yet built up the wisdom to pull up sharp on the road of time. And anyway, even if you did stop, you wouldn't know what to do without the frenzy for going forward that possesses you and has won your admiration ever since you were young. Even now, you're not as pleased with your youth as you once were. But you don’t yet dare admit that youth may be nothing more than a hurry to grow old.”
Quote by Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Journey to the End of the Night
