Quote by Sophocles

A man growing old becomes a child again.

A man growing old becomes a child again.

Summary

This quote suggests that as individuals age, they sometimes revert back to a more childlike state. It implies that with the passing of time, one's mental and emotional faculties may start to recede, and they become more dependent on others for care and support. It could also imply regressing to a simpler mindset, experiencing newfound innocence or curiosity in old age. Ultimately, this quote highlights the cyclical nature of life, where the progression of time can cause adults to resemble the vulnerable and dependent nature of children once again.
