A man's age represents a fine cargo of experience and memories.

By four I'll be excited and worried I'll discover what it costs to be happy! But if you come at any od time, I'll never know when I should prepare my heart... There must be rites.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must observe the proper rites.
