>And I have the same feeling about students of philosophy; when I see a youth thus engaged,— the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him, Socrates.

Not exactly. The ideal time in one's life to be studying philosophy is during the 23-37 years old period, 37 included and 23 excluded. Any other time is heresy.

Be sure to start studying only after the 15th of September, lest the philosophy witch take hold of your young soul.

Philosophy is good at any age, plus, what the fuck else are you going to do in your old age?
