Quote by Sara Teasdale

When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth.

When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that true wisdom and understanding come with experience and the passage of time. It suggests that when one reaches a point in their life where they can face it without fear or uncertainty, they have acquired the knowledge and insight that life offers. However, it also implies that this understanding comes at the cost of losing one's youth and innocence, as they are replaced by a more mature and rational perspective.
