Quote by G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb

We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding is at its weakest.

We accumulate our opinions at an age when our understanding

Summary

This quote suggests that opinions are formed in our early years when our ability to fully comprehend and analyze information is still developing. It implies that as children or young adults, we may not have the same level of critical thinking or experience as we would later in life. Therefore, the quote implies that our opinions may be influenced by limited knowledge or perspectives accumulated during this formative period. Consequently, it emphasizes the importance of constantly challenging and refining our opinions as we grow older and gain a better understanding of the world.

I have not been able to discover whether there exists a precise French equivalent for the common Anglo-American expression 'killing time.' It's a very crass and breezy expression, when you ponder it for a moment, considering that time, after all, is killing us.

I had the good fortune to be able to right an injustice that I thought was being heaped on young people by lowering the voting age, where you had young people that were old enough to die in Vietnam but not old enough to vote for their members of Congress that sent them there.

When adults say, 'Teenagers think they are invincible' with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.
