Warren Bennis 在 On Becoming a Leader 中引用了小说家Carlos Fuentes 的这段话：

“I really think youth is something you win from age. You are rather old and stupid when you are young. The youngest men I ever met in my life were Luis Bunuel, who made his greatest films between the ages of 60 and 80, … It took them 80 years to become young.”

“你在年轻时又老又蠢” – 这是在说我。老是因循守旧，蠢是全无灵性。这就是年轻时的我。但没有觉得被侮辱，反而被鼓舞，因我还有希望变年轻 - 我还没到八十岁。
