Stubborn Youth

Famous quotes containing the words stubborn and/or youth:

“I, who had heard of music in the spheres,
But not of speech in stars, began to muse:
But turning to my God, whose ministers
The stars and all things are; If I refuse,
Dread Lord, said I, so oft my good;
Then I refuse not ev’n with blood
To wash away my stubborn thought:
For I will do or suffer what I ought.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

“Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
