"Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile"
- Henry B. Adams
About this Quote
Henry B. Adams' quote speaks with the propensity of young men to view their elders as out of touch and not able to associate with their experiences. This can be seen as a form of disrespect, as it indicates that the knowledge and knowledge of the older generation is no longer appropriate. It can likewise be seen as an indication of younger arrogance, as boys might feel that they know much better than their seniors which their opinions are more valid. This quote is a suggestion that age ought to not be a barrier to understanding and regard, which the wisdom of the older generation need to be valued and appreciated. It is very important to bear in mind that the experiences of the older generation can be just as valuable and pertinent as those of the younger generation.
