About this Quote

This quote by Georg Brandes speaks with the innocence of youth and the absence of issue for physical look that frequently features it. As a little kid, Brandes did not stress over his appearance, most likely because he was too hectic playing and exploring the world around him. He was most likely unconcerned with the viewpoints of others and rather focused on the pleasures of childhood. This quote speaks with the flexibility of childhood and the lack of self-consciousness that often includes it. It is a reminder to adults to take an action back and appreciate the simple happiness of life, instead of stressing over how we look or what others consider us. Brandes' quote is a suggestion to take a break from the pressures of adulthood and to enjoy the flexibility of childhood.
