Except for a short period at the end of World War II, I attended an elementary school affiliated to Kobe University from ages six to twelve and then moved on to Nada Middle and High School from ages...

I went into the seminary when I was 16.

If somebody is young and brilliant and imaginative, he will be listened to, even if he is a little unorthodox.

Folk music was out there. Clubs were springing up and they were hot with the college kids.

The one message I always send to young people is, Don't be afraid to try different things to see what feels right and what's a good fit.

When you are young you can be a bit nonchalant - it's cool to be depressed, and maybe a bit dark.

My husband and I have been involved with foster youth since our early 20s. Right out of college and not yet married, we spent weekends mentoring a family of young girls.

The things that people won't totally accept come in all shapes and sizes and forms, and I can relate to that in my own youth.

In 2010, I was 17 or 18 and thought, 'Yeah, the Olympics, that might happen.'

The natural idealism of youth is an idealism, alas, for which we do not always provide as many outlets as we should.

As a teenager, I used to dress up like a hippie. My clothes weren't posh.

Young people think that nothing bad will ever happen to them.

The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.

There is an epidemic right now of girls dumbing themselves down... in middle school because they think it makes them attractive.

I'm not sure why there's this anger in the youth, but we need to talk about it. Kids need to get help if they need help, and bullies need to be helped as well.

Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.

As a teenager I was so insecure. I was the type of guy that never fitted in because I never dared to choose. I was convinced I had absolutely no talent at all. For nothing. And that thought took away...

Kids all want to look cool, as if knowledge is a great burden, but they're always looking around. They remember.

I am young, and I am cool, and I want to wear cool clothes!

There is madness in youth, but sometimes a god inspires it.

We have all had stupid youths,' said Mathilde. 'I find them delicious.

Young people sometimes use their innocence as an excuse to be unwise.

It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader.

Ah, youth! It was a beautiful night... The moon was out of orbit. The stars were awry. But everything else was exactly as it should have been.

Youthful exuberance is splendid.

We're too young to want to stop living, because after all, we shouldn't stop something we haven't even started.

If I could relive my life, I would devote my entire ministry to reaching children for God.

They were young; time hadn't yet rubbed at them, polishing their differences and sharpening their opinions...

Mission accomplished' I said. Pudge my friend, we are indestructible.

There is nothing like young love. It comes at a time before the heart knows to protect itself, when everything important is raw and exposed - the perfect environment for a soul-sucking, heart-crushing...
