“Our feelings probably are not less strong at fifty than they were ten or fifteen years before; but they have changed their objects, and dwell on far different prospects. At five-and-thirty a man thinks of what his own existence is; when the maturity of age has grown into its autumn, he is wrapt up in that of others.

“In Israel, it always meant - and a lot of that is still true - there was only one kind of man you could be, there were no alternatives, no options.
