The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.
Universities used to prepare young adults for the real world. I dare say the graduates today go in without a clue and graduate without a clue.

We’re rewarding either the reality or the appearance of youth, which is why you have all these people in their fifties trying to act like they’re seventeen. You know, it’s great to be young.
