Summary

This quote suggests that as people become older and gain more wisdom and experience, they tend to adopt more radical or revolutionary perspectives. It indicates that highly distinguished individuals, who have achieved recognition or prominence in their fields, are more likely to challenge existing norms, question authority, and advocate for significant changes or reforms. This can be interpreted as a reflection of their deeper understanding of societal issues and their motivation to leave a lasting impact, even if it means deviating from mainstream beliefs as they age.
