Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he's only trying on
one face after another till he finds his own.
Logan Pearsall Smith
In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like
children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there
in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin.
Arthur Schopenhauer
In the morning of our days, when the senses are unworn and tender,
when the whole man is awake in every part, and the gloss of novelty
is fresh upon all the objects that surround us, how lively at that
time are our sensations, but how false and inaccurate the judgments
we form of things!
Edmund Burke
