- Franz Kafka99◆ Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
- Neil Gaiman99◆ Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be...and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart...no matter what the merciless hours have done to her. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn't matter to you and me; we were never meant to be admired-but it does to them.
- Robert A. Heinlein99◆ The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

- Maya Angelou99◆ Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment.
- Rick Riordan99◆ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
- Tom Robbins99◆ A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement
- Jess C. Scott99◆ What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.

- Pablo Picasso99◆ At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.
