In the first
day of my youth I tried to find it in the creatures, as I
saw others do: but the more I sought, the less I found it,
and the nearer I went to it, the further off it was. For of
every image that appeared to me, before I had fully tested
it, or abandoned myself to peace in it, and inner voice said
to me: 'This is not what thou seekest.'
-- Heinrich Suso

Youth is not a
time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of
rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of
the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the
emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

After all,
life hasn't much to offer except youth and I suppose for
older people the love of youth in others.

youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness.
