“Youth hasn't got anything to do with chronological age. It's times of hope and happiness.”

“It's so easy to make a person who hasn't got anything seem wrong.”

“Waiting to die in old age will not benefit anyone if you have wasted your youth and do not want to change anything right now.”

“Youth is the time of getting, middle age of improving, and old age of spending.”

“How happy he who crowns in shades like these,
A youth of labour with an age of ease.”

“The disappointment of manhood succeeds to the delusion of youth: let us hope that the heritage of old age is not despair.”

“Anytime you start to imagine being the son or daughter of God, then now is a good time to go back to your family tree. Also check your chronological age.”

“If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think its emotions, partings, and resolves are the last of their kind. Each crisis seems final, simply because it is new.”

“As an artist, you're never happy with anything you do. It's part of the process. You're never really happy. I'm certainly not. That's a good thing. It means you're always striving to do better. You hope the next piece will be better.”

“The Greek “point of view” in both art and chronology has little in common with ours but was much like that of the Middle Ages.”
