Youth

From BillionQuotes

• "YOUTH: The too-brief span wherein the human chassis is factory-fresh, undented and free of corrosion; a pristine condition worshiped by menopausal women in sweatsuits and shrinking men with chestnut-brown toupees, while those who actually possess it are frequently too shallow or despondent to enjoy it." - Rick Bayan, The Cynic's Dictionary

• It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.

-W. Somerset Maugham, "Of Human Bondage", 1915

"Youth is truly wasted on the young".

"There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him: and maybe that is where the rub is.

"When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain -- that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.

"I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things."

"What I lack in youth I make up for in immaturity." ~ Marty Feinberg

"Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young...and I seem to have forgotten lately." Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix by JK Rowling.
