So if you do crash, it's obvious why you did; if you don't, the the log of your journey is much less clear. Or, to put it another way. Someone once said that his favourite times in history were when things were collapsing, because that means something new is being born. Does this makes any sense if we apply it to our individual lives? Even if that something new is our very own self? Because just as all political and historical change sooner or later disappoints, so does adulthood. So does life. Sometimes I think the purpose of life is to reconcile us to its eventual loss by wearing us down, by proving, however long it takes, that life isn't all it's cracked up to be.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Julian Barnes" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/julian-barnes/when-you-are-in-your-twenties-even-if-you-re-confused-and-uncertain/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1b9/julian-barnes-522_life_when-you-are-in-your-twenties-even-if-yo_491610.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1b9/julian-barnes-522_life_when-you-are-in-your-twenties-even-if-yo_491610.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1b9/julian-barnes-522_life_when-you-are-in-your-twenties-even-if-yo_491610.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“When you are in your twenties, even if you're confused and uncertain about your aims and purposes, you have…” — Julian Barnes", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 23, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Also, when you are young, you think you can predict the likely pains and bleaknesses that age might bring. You imagine yourself being lonely, divorced, widowed; children growing away from you, friends dying. You imagine the loss of status, the loss of desire – and desirability. You may go further and consider your own approaching death, which, despite what company you may muster, can only be faced alone. But all this is looking ahead. What you fail to do is look ahead, and then imagine yourself looking back from the future point. Learning the new emotions that time brings. Discovering, for example, that as the witnesses to your life diminish, there is less corroboration, and therefore less certainty, as to what you are or have been. Even if you have assiduously kept records – in words, sound, pictures – you may find that you have attended to the wrong kind of record-keeping. What was the line Adrian used to quote?
