Quotes

  • "A person cannot be judged upon by their age. Take wisdom, wisdom does not come to one by the years they have lived. A person with a closed mind cannot be as wise as one with an open mind no matter the number of years they have lived as a close minded person is like a story under censorship and an open minded one is a story without the censor." ~ My brother (he is only a year older than I, we study philosophy together)
