"Child-like"


"A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention."
~ Aldous Huxley, from his essay 'Vulgarity in Literature,' in Music at Night and Other Essays
