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.”

“To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.”
William Arthur Ward
“Maturity is knowing when to be immature.”
Randall Hall
“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you'”
Erich Fromm

George Bernard Shaw
“I think she's learned how to carry out the strategy. It's all about maturity. In the past, she didn't have the mental strength to overcome adversity. Last year, when she didn't get help against Lauren (Jimenez), Christy got a little frustrated. But she's become a leader, both on and off the court. The growth in every aspect of her life over the last two years has been incredible.”
Jeff Stabile
“Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.”
Albert Einstein
