About This Quote
There is a reason the quote, “What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death” is often used in an attempt to insult someone who is young and immature. The author of the quote, Søren Kierkegaard , was referring to people who are still growing up and not yet able to handle life. He was not suggesting that people should put off becoming adults until they died. Rather, he was trying to convey the idea that growing up is something that we all have to deal with.
