One gets old early, but his mind comes to him late.

Reviews)
In John Updike's novel "The Centaur," the protagonist reflects on the complexities of aging and the delayed wisdom that often accompanies it. The quote, "One gets old early, but his mind comes to him late," encapsulates the notion that physical decline can precede mental maturity. This idea suggests that while the body may betray us with age, the understanding and insights gained through life experiences often take time to develop.
