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)

    When a man reaches his maturity in understanding and in years, the feeling comes over him that his father was wrong to beget him.
