Quote by Elizabeth Taylor

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid

Summary

This quote suggests that some men resist maturing and seek younger partners as they age. It insinuates that the fear of growing old prompts them to pursue relationships with much younger women. The notion is that older men try to recapture their youth or avoid the responsibilities of adulthood by forming romantic relationships with women who are significantly younger than them. The quote implies a pattern where the age disparity between men and their wives tends to increase with time, seemingly driven by a reluctance to embrace the realities of aging.

The world is passing through troubling times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress.

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
