At 43, I now own a car for the first time in my life; nay, it's an SUV, and we can thank parenthood.

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.
