Ode to Youth
One God Note #587.

"Nature has done well and wisely, in not permitting
a man to live forever and in bringing into the world ever new generations. An
old person is a used-up machine [... He] has too many dogmas to [...] easily
[...] believe in a new truth [...]; too many sympathies and antipathies [...]
for him to come to love something unfamiliar; [...] too many habits to be able
to settle on new ways. Let us add suspiciousness — the fruit of bitter
experiences; a pessimism inseparable from all manner of disappointments; and
finally, a general decline of powers from exhaustion [...]."
Bolesław Prus, "Oda do
młodości" ("Ode to Youth"), 1905. Quoted after: Wikiquote.
