Famous quotes containing the words queer, youth and/or network:
“I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again—as I always am when I write.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“If youth is a fault, it is one that one gets rid of soon enough.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
