Wisdom leads us back to childhood.

Wisdom leads us back to childhood.

Summary

This quote suggests that regaining wisdom means reconnecting with the innocence and purity of our childhood. As we grow older, we often become burdened with knowledge, experience, and the complexities of life, which can lead to skepticism and cynicism. However, wisdom allows us to revisit and appreciate the simplicity, curiosity, and open-mindedness of our early years. By embracing the mindset of a child, we can approach life with wonder, learn from our own experiences, and uncover deeper truths. Ultimately, the quote implies that true wisdom lies in recapturing the childlike perspective that is unencumbered by preconceptions and biases.

Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents pots and pans -- the used things, warm with generations of human touch, essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.
