"大人になることは、他の幻想を手に入れるためにいくつかの幻想を失うことです。"

Virginia Woolf

Simplified Meaning:

As we grow older, we stop believing in certain things and start believing in new things instead. For example, when you're a child, you might believe in Santa Claus. As you get older, you learn that Santa isn't real, but you might start believing in more practical things like hard work leading to success. This change in beliefs is a part of becoming an adult. It shows that our views and understandings change over time based on our life experiences. So, letting go of old beliefs is natural and it helps us form new ones that shape our future. Understanding this can make it easier to adapt to changes and accept the new perspectives that life brings.
