The process of growing older is not necessarily allied to growing
wickeder, though the two do often happen together. Children are meant to grow up, and not to
become Peter Pans. Not to lose innocence and wonder, but to proceed on the appointed
journey: that journey upon which it is certainly not better to travel hopefully than to arrive,
though we must travel hopefully if we are to arrive.
