Summary

This quote highlights the rarity of science fiction and fantasy books that feature elderly protagonists as the main characters. In these genres, the focus is often on young or middle-aged individuals who embark on awe-inspiring adventures or face extraordinary challenges. However, the perspective of older characters can offer unique insights and experiences, tapping into the wisdom and complexities that come with age. By expanding the representation of protagonists across different age groups, literature can offer a more diverse and inclusive range of narratives.

I believe that God will help us to forget things, the memory

I believe that God will help us to forget things, the memory of which would do us harm, or rather that He will enable us to remember only so much of them as will be for our good, and we, ourselves, not emotionally overwhelmed. The pain endured. The lesson learned. Let it now be forgotten! Face the future with courage, cheerfulness, and hope. Give God the chance and He will make you forget all that it would be harmful to remember.
