“Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that.”
Walt Disney
“Not everyone grows to be old, but everyone has been younger than he is now.”
Evelyn Waugh
