Book Quote

From The School of Life’s An Emotional Education by Alain de Botton:
You are not desperately unlucky to have hitched yourself to someone who is still infantile in many ways. Adulthood simply isn't a complete state; what we call childhood lasts (in a submerged but significant way) all our lives.
