("And the Rabbi said: 'Childishness was in me, and I was brazen-faced before Nathan the Babylonian'" — Bava Batra 21a; and likewise: 'And as the years passed, when I had eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and my mind had matured... I saw that there was no childishness in me' — Berdyczewski, Writings, 2, 83; and likewise: 'How I loved her voice. Many times I opened the door so that she would ask who is there. Childishness was in me' — Agnon, On the Latch Handles, 5)
