J.D.'s Quote According to J.A.

The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one - Wilhelm Stekel, Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

I love this quote. Sometimes it makes me think that half of the heroes of the world are immature. But as they say, the courageous may not live long, but the cautious do not live at all... Maybe a healthy mix of the two is needed. Something we can call Cautious Spontaneity, ei?
