Every man has his moral backside which he refrains from showing unless he has to and keeps covered as long as possible with the trousers of decorum. ↗

Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones. ↗
