You know you have reached maturity when you finally decide to stop paying for the consequences of your foolish decisions.

Maturity is a high price to pay for growing up.

Maturity is always inherited from Stability but not the other way around.

I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias.

You tell them - you tell them there's a cost.....Every decision we make in life, there's always a cost.

Nothing special has happened today; no one can say she was more provoked than usual. It is only that every day one grows a little, every day something is different, so that in the heaping up of days suddenly a thing that was impossible has become possible. This is how a girl becomes a grown woman. Step by step until it is done.
