+Katherine Stiner, shared the article and mentioned it reminded her of this quote from the Little Prince. It's one of my favorites:
Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. 
I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them. 
Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, “What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?” Instead, they demand: “How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?” Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.
The Katherine Woods version is my favorite translation of the book.
