"'Except ye become as little children,' except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, 'ye cannot enter the kingdom of God.' One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again."
Dorothy L. Sayers, "Creed or Chaos?"
This comment from Sayers (and thanks to Terry Teachout's blog "About Last Night" for bringing it to my attention) is something I believe I've always known -- if only on an unconscious level, but I have never seen the thought so perfectly expressed.
And I must remember this the next time I get asked, "When are you going to grow up?"
For those unfamiliar with the source of this quotation, Dorothy L. Sayers is best-known for her detective novels featuring Lord Peter Wimsey (some of which I've enjoyed, some of which I found tedious), although in her latter years she turned her talents to religious topics, and a translation of Dante's "Divine Comedy."
