Thought for today: 

“I don’t much like the notion of passages, of predictable cycles in adult life.  I doubt that there’s anything predictable at all about the stages of life.  I know too  many people, now in their seventies, who haven’t changed since they were 12 years old, and others who change every two years in quite fundamental ways.  So many things come about through accident, chance or outright mistakes.  At least, that’s certainly been true for me.”

called, "Turning Points”
