#disillusionment

"Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything."

"It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams."

"All knowledge hurts."

"We dream, we wake on a cold hillside, we pursue the dream again. In the beginning was the dream, and the work of disenchantment never ends."
