About This Quote
This late age of the world's experience had bred in them all, all men and women, a well of tears. Tears and sorrows; courage and endurance; a perfectly upright and stoical bearing. This is not an easy period in life to be in. Society is constantly changing, making it difficult for you to fit in.
The older generation doesn’t want to accept young people into their group because they are not old enough to understand it all yet. They are trying to keep up with the times but they don’t know what they are doing.
