Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.
Interpretation
What this quote means
As people age, they must adapt to new stages of life, similar to how infants learn and grow.
Andy Warhol's quote reflects the idea that as life expectancy increases, individuals must embrace the wisdom of adapting to their changing circumstances. Just as babies learn about the world and grow through their experiences, older adults will need to navigate their longer lives with the same curiosity and flexibility. This perspective encourages a mindset of continuous learning and embracing the various phases of life, regardless of age.

What can be said in New Year rhymes, That's not been said a thousand times? The new years come, the old years go, We know we dream, we dream we know. We rise up laughing with the light, We lie down weeping with the night. We hug the world until it stings, We curse it then and sigh for wings. We live, we love, we woo, we wed, We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead. We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear, And that's the burden of a year.
