Sunday Papers: Knut Hamsun
"I do not hold the perverse belief of old men generally, that I am wiser
than I was. And I hope I may never grow wise; ’tis a sign of
decrepitude. If I thank God for life, it is not by virtue of any riper
wisdom that has come to me with age, but because I have always taken a
pleasure in life. Age gives no riper wisdom; age gives nothing but age."
