Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. inside, they look just like they always have. like they did when they were your age. truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. not one, in the whole wide world.

More From Neil Gaiman

It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.
Truth Lying Mean
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.
Summer Sports Winter
It is a great thing to be at your age... you are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. but also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. when you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and i will go all the way.' you have the age where you can change. you get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. your age is still an age of exploration.

We believe we're moving out of the ice age, the iron age, the industrial age, the information age, to the participation age. you get on the net and you do stuff. you im (instant message), you blog, you take pictures, you publish, you podcast, you transact, you distance learn, you telemedicine. you are participating on the internet, not just viewing stuff. we build the infrastructure that goes in the data center that facilitates the participation age. we build that big friggin' webtone switch. it has security, directory, identity, privacy, storage, compute, the whole web services stack.
Distance Believe Moving
I always think there's our age in id terms but then there's our real age because for me the real age is not the age on your id. that's just a date when you were born. the real age, the real id is your body, your brain, your attitude.

Take the case of the infinite ocean. there is no limit to its water. suppose a pot is immersed in it: there is water both inside and outside the pot. the jnani sees that both inside and outside there is nothing but paramatman. then what is this pot? it is 'i-consciousness'. because of the pot the water appears to be divided into two parts; because of the pot you seem to perceive an inside and an outside. one feels that way as long as this pot of 'i' exists. when the 'i' disappears, what is remains. that cannot be described in words.

The expression "following suit" is a curious one, because it has nothing to do with walking behind a matching set of clothing. if you follow suit, it means you do the same thing somebody else has just done. if all of your friends decided to jump off a bridge into the icy waters of an ocean or river, for instance, and you jumped in right after them, you would be following suit. you can see why following suit can be a dangerous thing to do, because you could end up drowning simply because somebody else thought of it first.
Ocean Mean Expression
Whenever i look at the ocean, i always want to talk to people, but when i'm talking to people, i always want to look at the ocean.

And i’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it and reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it then i’ll stand on the ocean until i start sinkin’ but i’ll know my song well before i start singin

The boats outside the window were always still i wondered if one of them would take me to the ocean.
