Un artículo de Malcolm Gladwell llamado «Late bloomers», sobre como a pesar de que la creación se suele asociar a la juventud, algunas personas crean sus mejores obras a edades muy avanzadas.

Orson Welles made his masterpiece, “Citizen Kane,” at twenty-five. Herman Melville wrote a book a year through his late twenties, culminating, at age thirty-two, with “Moby-Dick.” Mozart wrote his breakthrough Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-Flat-Major at the age of twenty-one.
