Famous quotes containing the words world and/or youth:

    “It is not in the world of ideas that life is lived. Life is lived for better or worse in life, and to a man in life, his life can be no more absurd than it can be the opposite of absurd, whatever that opposite may be.”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    “Could beauty be beaten out,
    O youth the cities have sent
    to strike at each other’s strength,
    it is you who have kept her alight.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
