Summary

This quote asserts that once we have truly lived through and exhausted an experience, such as childhood and youth, we develop a deep appreciation and affection for it.

The idea is that by completely immersing ourselves in these stages and maximizing our understanding of them, we cultivate a profound admiration for the lessons and memories they have imparted to us.
