„Dorastanie polega na rozpoznawaniu, że czas minął i już nie jesteś dzieckiem. To brzmi banalnie. Ale tak myślę. Nie potrzeba większej dojrzałości do bycia dorosłym niż stwierdzenie, że już nie jest się dzieckiem. Dorastanie to rozpoznanie – z zadowoleniem lub ze smutkiem – że pozycja, którą zajmowałeś jako dziecko, nie jest już dla ciebie dostępna.”
