We’re good at taking care of little kids, and spend a lot of energy teaching them things like how to read.

When I look back at that freedom of childhood, which is in a way infinite, and at all the joy and the intense happiness, now lost, I sometimes think that childhood is where the real meaning of life is located, and that we, adults, are its servants - that that’s our purpose Picture Quote #1
