One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young. William Feather
Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. Rebecca Harding Davis
Our young people look up to us. Let us not let them down. Our young people need us. Saving them will make heroes of us all. Gale Sayers
Part of my motivation for writing mysteries for young people is that I loved mysteries when I was growing up, and now that I'm on the creative end of things, I'm discovering that they're even more fun to write! Wendelin Van Draanen
Part of what makes you great as a young player can hurt you at the end of your career, in terms of you need a certain amount of ego, a certain amount of arrogance to be able to play well and to push yourself and trick yourself into thinking you're better than you really are. David Cone
People ask me who he reminds me of. The way he's playing, I'd say he doesn't remind me of anybody. I've never seen anybody - running back, quarterback, wide receiver - make the plays that Vince Young made today. Dan Fouts
Reading and writing, like everything else, improve with practice. And, of course, if there are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy will be dead, and democracy - which many believe goes hand in hand with it - will be dead as well. Margaret Atwood
Romance novels are my favorite books to read. I write young adult romances, and am so happy to be promoting this wonderful genre. Simone Elkeles
Sitting by the chimney corner as we grow old, the commonest things around us take on live meanings and hint at the difference between these driving times and the calm, slow moving days when we were young. Rebecca Harding Davis
So much of young adult literature has turned dark, almost pathological. It's almost as if there is a race to see who can be the most dysfunctional. Richard Paul Evans
So you know, my plan was that I was going to make records, and be a rock star. And that's really what I wanted to do. And I sang from the time I was very young. Katey Sagal
Somehow, I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains. Rickey Henderson
Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you. Marilyn Monroe
Sometimes, you follow your dreams. I say to the young people, 'If you have a dream, chase it.' Karl Malone
Storytelling is a very old human skill that gives us an evolutionary advantage. If you can tell young people how you kill an emu, acted out in song or dance, or that Uncle George was eaten by a croc over there, don't go there to swim, then those young people don't have to find out by trial and error. Margaret Atwood
Students today are a pretty solemn lot. One of the really notable achievements of the twentieth century has been to make the young old before their time. Robertson Davies
That women are mysterious and unknowable is something every young man grows up believing. Men, on the other hand, never think of themselves as mysterious or confusing, and we are often at a loss as to why women want to figure us out. Chris Abani
The 'Tarahumara' use their legs 'as designed.' By running at a young age with minimal footwear, they naturally develop the best biomechanical use of their legs. Cushioned shoes restrict foot movements and allow for over-striding. Short strides are natural. Christopher McDougall
The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers. Judy Blume
