Famous quotes containing the word young:
“Therell be that crowd, that barbarous crowd, through all the centuries,
And who can say but some young belle may walk and talk men wild
Who is my beautys equal, though that my heart denies,
But not the exact likeness, the simplicity of a child,
And that proud look as though she had gazed into the burning sun....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. Ones enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I am continually amazed at how old young has become. Didnt we, like our grandchildren, begin with a childhood we thought would never end? Now, all of a sudden, Im older than my parents were when I thought they were old.”
—Lois Wyse (20th century)
