" There are three stages of self-indulgence: childhood, adolescence and pre-adulthood ( the period between eighteen and thirty) ....
each age has its own adulthood. A child can be grown-up in its own world...
....societies now teach their young to be adults when they are adolescents.
Teenagers become adept at mimicking adulthood
; and thus many people grown in years are really permanent adolescents
mimicking adulthood.Social pressures arrest them at a stage of pseudo-adulthood, and imporse on them a mask they first assume to look adult and then wear forever afterwards"
John Fowles " The Aristos"
So, so true..
This almost made me feel young again.
And generally the book is amazing.
A most ingenious piece of work in everyway.
