LEWIS THOMAS ON CHILDHOOD

[Childhood] is the time when the human brain can set to work on language, on taste, on poetry and music, with [neural] centers at its disposal that may not be available later on in life. If we did not have childhood, and we were able somehow to jump catlike from infancy to adulthood, I doubt very much that we would turn out human.
