Robert A. Heinlein Quote
I was thinking that it was regrettable that your tastes have grown canalized so young. There itwas, raining soup-and you were caught without a spoon. Even three days of what you wereoffered-urged on you!-would have been something to treasure when you reach my age. And you, youyoung idiot, let jealousy chase you away! Believe me, at your age I would have gone Eskimo in a bigway, thankful that I had been given a free pass instead of having to attend church and study Martian toqualify. I'm so vicariously vexed that my only consolation is the sour one that I know you will live toregret it. Age does not bring wisdom, Ben, but it does give perspective . . . and the saddest perspective
