“Being more mature now, I've managed to make peace with my past, as it's making peace with me. Certainly there's a mutual gain for reflecting on both phases of my life, and although I consider the here and now perhaps to be more important, there are still many people who appreciate my past ephemeral stages and the lessons they represent.”
Yusuf Islam
“It is the highest creatures who take the longest to mature, and are the most helpless during their immaturity.”
