It's weird how much people change... It's kind of sad, if you think about it. Like there's no continuity in people at all. Like something ruptures when you hit twelve, or thirteen, or whatever the age is when you're no longer a kid but a "young adult", and after that you're a totally different person. Maybe even a less happy person. Maybe even a worse one. Lauren Oliver
About This Quote

In this quote, the author makes a note of the effects that age has on people, specifically referring to how time can change a person. The changes that come with growing up are not always a good thing, but rather a change in character. The truth is that as we grow older, we mature and become more aware of the world around us. This knowledge doesn't necessarily make us better people but it can make us more honest with ourselves and more cautious when making decisions.
