When we are no longer children we are already dead

Constantin Brancusi
About This Quote

When we are no longer children we are already dead. This quote is an amazing analogy to the feeling of being a child when you have just recently become a teenager. It’s one of the most beautiful things in the world when you have been treated like a child your whole life and then suddenly you become a teenager. You grow up quick and totally transform into someone who is much more mature than you ever were before.

You gain strength, confidence, and learn that you can become anything that you want to be. When you are no longer a child, you are already dead.
