John Buchan
 

What shelter to grow ripe is ours?
What leisure to grow wise?

 
Matthew Arnold
 

“You have to grow all the time,” I said. “Not necessarily get bigger. But inside your head you have to grow, kid-boy. For us human-type people, that’s what’s important. And that kind of growing never stops. At least, it shouldn’t. You can grow, kid-boy, or you can die. That’s the choice you've got, and it goes on all of your life.”

 
Samuel R. Delany
 

You grow, we all grow, we're made to grow. You either evolve or disappear.
