"My ethics? I'd like to shed the strictures of adulthood and make maturity an optional result of a freely lived human life, not the necessary path to power and success, lorded over by depressed, overweight, unimaginative corpses." Ben Marcus "On Not Growing Up", Harpers 2008.
However, I'm not sure the sentiment characterizes me in the least. It's more of a value I know I don't attend to, and the utter lack of it in my life makes a passage like this really stand out.
