Youth
Quotes - There is a time for everything
“There
is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a
time to be born and a time to die,
a
time to plant and a time to uproot,
a
time to kill and a time to heal,
a
time to tear down and a time to build,
a
time to weep and a time to laugh,
a
time to mourn and a time to dance,
a
time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a
time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time
to search and a time to give up,
a
time to keep and a time to throw away,
a
time to tear and a time to mend,
a
time to be silent and a time to speak,
a
time to love and a time to hate,
a
time for war and a time for peace.
(Ecclesiastes
3:1-8, NIV)”

“Young
people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do
something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment. ”

“When
you're young, you think everything you do is disposable. You move from now to
now, crumpling time up in your hands, tossing it away. You're your own speeding
car. You think you can get rid of things, and people too—leave them behind. You
don't yet know about the habit they have, of coming back.
Time
in dreams is frozen. You can never get away from where you've been.”

Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
“V-Day…if
you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your
loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It’s all
artificial, and has nothing to do with real love.”

“At
the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my
ambition has been growing steadily ever since.”

“may
my heart always be open to little
birds
who are the secrets of living
whatever
they sing is better than to know
and
if men should not hear them men are old
may
my mind stroll about hungry
and
fearless and thirsty and supple
and
even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for
whenever men are right they are not young
and
may myself do nothing usefully
and
love yourself so more than truly
there's
never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling
all the sky over him with one smile”

“Pan,
who and what art thou?" he cried huskily.
"I'm
youth, I'm joy," Peter answered at a venture, "I'm a little bird that
has broken out of the egg.”

“Youth
is a dream, a form of chemical madness.”

“So
wise so young, they say, do never live long.”

William Shakespeare, Richard III
“What
disturbs and depresses young people is the hunt for happiness on the firm
assumption that it must be met with in life. From this arises constantly
deluded hope and so also dissatisfaction. Deceptive images of a vague happiness
hover before us in our dreams, and we search in vain for their original. Much
would have been gained if, through timely advice and instruction, young people
could have had eradicated from their minds the erroneous notion that the world
has a great deal to offer them.”

Arthur Schopenhauer
“We
are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are
fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun
to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces.”
―
Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
“It
is easy, when you are young, to believe that what you desire is no less than
what you deserve, to assume that if you want something badly enough, it is your
God-given right to have it.”
―
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
“There
is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring
to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this
source, you will truly have defeated age.”

Sophia Loren
“A
primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of
government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important?
And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the
future guardians of the liberties of the country?”
―
George Washington
“Youth
ends when egotism does; maturity begins when one lives for others.”

Hermann Hesse, Gertrude
“There
is a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time. Perhaps we become
aware of our age only at exceptional moments and most of the time we are
ageless.”

Milan Kundera
“He
stood at the window of the empty cafe and watched the activites in the square
and he said that it was good that God kept the truths of life from the young as
they were starting out or else they'd have no heart to start at all.”
―
Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses
“I've
learned one thing, and that's to quit worrying about stupid things. You have
four years to be irresponsible here, relax. Work is for people with jobs.
You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember the time you wasted
hanging out with your friends. So stay out late. Go out with your friends on a
Tuesday when you have a paper due on Wednesday. Spend money you don't have.
Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does...”

Tom Petty
“Youth
offers the promise of happiness, but life offers the realities of grief.”
