Quote by J.K. Rowling

Youth can not know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the disconnect between the perspectives of the young and the old. It suggests that young people, lacking the experience of age, cannot fully understand the thoughts and emotions that come with it. However, it also highlights the responsibility of older individuals to remember and empathize with the perspective of the youth, symbolizing a danger of losing touch with the vibrancy and vitality that define younger years. In essence, it calls for an understanding and appreciation of the differing experiences and values across generations.

It turned out I was pretty good in science. But again, because of the small budget, in science class we couldn't afford to do experiments in order to prove theories. We just believed everything. Actually, I think that class was called Religion. Religion class was always an easy class. All you had to do was suspend the logic and reasoning you were being taught in all the other classes.

I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son's school so they know I'm not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from 'The View.' Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on.
