With words at your disposal, you can see more clearly. Finding the words is another step in learning to see.

Going from memory so the wording might not be exact:

"People assume that being old means you must be wise. Sometimes it just means that you've been stupid for a very long time."

When I was five years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.  When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I wrote down ‘happy’.

They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.
- John Lennon
