Famous quotes containing the words die and/or young:
“Knowing what [Christ] knew , knowing all about mankind—ah! who would have thought that the crime is not so much to make others die, but to die oneself—confronted day and night with his innocent crime, it became too difficult to go on. It was better to get it over with, to not defend himself, to die, in order not to be the only one to have survived, and to go elsewhere, where, perhaps, he would be supported.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“What’s more enchanting than the voices of young people, when you can’t hear what they say?”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
