Quote from Wilson in Quest for Fire
Wilson: See, Byron noted that men of Tim's life experience suddenly go through difficult times and they respond in strange ways. Byron said, "Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man". Jill: So, you're saying that Tim's having a mid-life crisis? Wilson: Well, I'm not sure about that. I do know he is at an age where he has to come to grips with his own mortality. Jill: I don't know, Wilson. It's not like Tim's wearing gold chains and has a blonde on each arm. Yet. Wilson: Well, the truth is that every man struggles with middle age in his own unique way.
