    And builds a Hell in Heaven’s despite.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.... Fear and resentment of what is new is really a lament for the memories of our childhood.

    That title of respect
    Which the proud soul ne’er pays but to the proud.
