Summary

This quote suggests that the imagination and creativity experienced by children do not solely pertain to their early years; rather, it is the childlike spirit within us that sporadically resurfaces through moments of reminiscence. This idea challenges the notion that only as children we possessed vibrant imagination, asserting that such creativity still lies dormant within us, waiting to be reignited. It emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with our inner child to embrace imagination and recapture the imaginative essence we once had.

Another hero was Tom Swift, in the books. What he stood for, the freedom, the scientific knowledge and being and engineer gave him the ability to invent solutions to problems. He's always been a hero to me. I buy old Tom Swift books now and read them to my own children.

The gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he can become until he goes abroad. I speak now, of course, in the supposition that the gentle reader has not been abroad, and therefore is not already a consummate ass. If the case be otherwise, I beg his pardon and extend to him the cordial hand of fellowship and call him brother. I shall always delight to meet an ass after my own heart when I have finished my travels.
