Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them.
[from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry]
