Maximum Maturity

Famous quotes containing the words maximum and/or maturity:

    Only at his maximum does an individual surpass all his derivative elements, and become purely himself. And most people never get there. In his own pure individuality a man surpasses his father and mother, and is utterly unknown to them.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Adolescence is society’s permission slip for combining physical maturity with psychological irresponsibility.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
