Quote by Robbie Coltrane

See, what you're meant to do when you have a mid-life crisis is buy a fast car, aren't you? Well, I've always had fast cars. It's not that. It's the fear that you're past your best. It's the fear that the stuff you've done in the past is your best work.

See, what you're meant to do when you have a mid-life crisis

Summary

This quote reflects the notion of a mid-life crisis being commonly associated with acquiring material possessions like fast cars. However, the speaker challenges this idea by suggesting that their fear and anxiety stem not from the absence of fast cars, but from the belief that their peak has passed, and the accomplishments and achievements of their past represent their best work. The quote illustrates a deeper concern about personal growth, potential stagnation, and the uncertainty of future accomplishments.
