Summary

This quote suggests that middle age is a critical period in which one's potential and talent can diminish or go to waste. It implies that the challenges and demands of the middle age stage of life can quell creativity, ambition, and success more significantly than even the brutalities of wars or unexpected deaths. It highlights the idea that the pressures, responsibilities, and compromises that often come with middle age can stifle individual talents and aspirations, ultimately resulting in lost potential.

For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.
