Who in his sense would not keep, if he could, that tireless curiosity, that intensity of imagination, that facility of suspending disbelief, that unspoiled appetite, that readiness to wonder, to pity, and to admire?
C.S. Lewis
She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age.
