“Youth comes but once in a lifetime”

“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”

“You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls”
