Youth is easily deceived, because it is quick to hope. -
Aristotle [Aristoteles]
You don't have to suffer to be a poet; adolescence is enough suffering for anyone. -
John Ciardi
If the whole world depends on today's youth, I can't see the world lasting another 100 years. -
Socrates
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched for they are full of the truth-less ideal which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded. -
W. Somerset Maugham
The best of our theatre is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity of adolescence and obsessive keyhole sexuality. The way out, as the poet says, is always through. -
Arthur Miller
Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future. -
Coco Chanel
The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten. -
George William Curtis
An angelic boyhood becomes a Satanic old age. [La., Angelicus juvenis senibus satanizat in annis] -
Desiderius Gerhard Erasmus
