Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young. | |
― J.K. Rowling | |
[This reminds me of the saying: “I may not ever be as good as I once was, but I’m still as good once as I ever was.” I’m not sure if that makes me old or young (but I’m definitely NOT guilty). — KMAB] | |
