As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body but can never be so in mind.

If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.

My chief humor is for a tyrant. I could play Ercles rarely, or a part to tear a cat in, to make all split.
--William Shakespeare

The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.

My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don’t know anything at all.
