Youthful Quotes (page 19)

O Fiend, whose talisman was that fatal symbol, wouldst thou leave nothing, whether in youth or age, for this poor sinner to revere?—such loss of faith is ever one of the saddest results of sin. Nathaniel Hawthorne
If you have any mind to keep my respect, I recommend you not to add imbecility to these qualities by imagining that such a girl as I am will be content with your asthmatic love, and not look for youth and good looks and pleasure by way of a variet? Honore de Balzac
He thought about his son’s stone flying across the yard, the youthful idea that you could toss away the future if you didn’t like it—and he realized, suddenly, what he needed to do. Mitch Albom
Robertson Davies quote: "God, youth is a terrible time! So much feeling and so little..."
God, youth is a terrible time! So much feeling and so little notion of how to handle it! Robertson Davies
People claim that we recapture for a moment the self that we were long ago when we enter some house or garden in which we used to live in our youth. But these are most hazardous pilgrimages, which end as often in disappointment as in success. It is in ourselves that we should rather seek to find those fixed places, contemporaneous with different years. Marcel Proust
Ambition was the old dream of his youth and childhood, a dream which he did not confess even to himself, though it was so strong that now his passion was even doing battle with his love Leo Tolstoy
Ah! realize your youth while you have it. Don’t squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar. These are the sickly aims, the false ideals, of our age. Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing. Oscar Wilde
O, but they say, the tongues of dying men enforce attention, like deep harmony: where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain: for they breathe truth, that breathe their words in pain. he, that no more must say, is listened more than they whom youth and ease have taught to gloze; more are men's ends marked, than their lives before: the setting sun, and music at the close, as the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last; writ in rememberance more than things long past William Shakespeare
Jane Austen quote: "Such squeamish youths as cannot bear to be connected with a..."
Such squeamish youths as cannot bear to be connected with a little absurdity are not worth a regret. Jane Austen
Dave Eggers quote: "Humans are divided between those who can still look through..."
Humans are divided between those who can still look through the eyes of youth and those who cannot. Dave Eggers
Herman Melville quote: "I am a man who, from his youth upwards, has been filled with a..."
I am a man who, from his youth upwards, has been filled with a profound conviction that the easiest way of life is the best. Herman Melville
William Shakespeare quote: "Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner..."
Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleep. Dreaming of both. William Shakespeare
Until recently each generation found it more expedient to plead guilty to the charge of being young and ignorant, easier to take the punishment meted out by the older generation (which had itself confessed to the same crime short years before). The command to grow up at once was more bearable than the faceless horror of wavering purpose, which was youth. Maya Angelou
But here was all the timorousness and angularity of inexperienced youth, a feeling of awkwardness, and an impression of bewilderment, as if someone had suddenly knocked at the door. Anton Chekhov
Despite different cultures, middle-class youth all over the world seem to live their lives as if in a parallel universe. They get up in the morning, put on their Levi's and Nikes, grab their caps and backpacks, and Sony personal CD players and head for school. Naomi Klein
