“I am perhaps the oldest musician in the world. I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life, and to say things to the world that are true.”
Pablo Casals
“An old young man, will be a young old man.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Schumann's our music-maker now; / Has his march-movement youth and mouth? Ingres's the modern man that paints; / Which will lean on me, of his saints? / Heine for songs; for kisses, how?”
Robert Browning
“To get back to my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable”
Oscar Wilde
“The three ages of man: youth, middle age and 'my word you do look well'.”
June Whitfield
“There are few things more difficult than to appraise the work of a man suddenly dead in his youth; to disentangle ''promise'' from achievement; to save him from that sentimentalizing which confuses the tragedy of the interruption with the merit of the work actually performed.”
Ezra Pound
“We have to abandon the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 -- and half the things he knows at 40 hadn't been discovered when he was 20?”
Arthur C. Clarke
