“The beginning of wisdom, as they say. When you're seventeen you know everything. When you're twenty-seven if you still know everything you're still seventeen.”
“The right thing to do is so easy to see when you're seventeen years old and don't have to make any big decisions. When you know that no matter what you do, someone will take care of you and fix everything. But when you're grown up, the world is not that black and white, and the right thing doesn't a tidy little arrow pointing to it.”
“Which is a sad thing when you're only seventeen.”
“Wisdom is the contant questioning of where you are. And when you stop wanting to know, you're dea. You're walking, but you're dead.”
“Sometimes when you're at your most certain, that's when everything you know is wrong.”
“It must be wonderful to be seventeen, and to know everything.”
