A lively retrospect summons back to us once more our youth, with vivid reflex of its early joys and unstained pleasures.
Alfred de MussetIf you are weak, dependent upon others, inclined to allow yourself to be dominated by opinion, to take root wherever you see a little soil, make for yourself a shield that will resist everything, for if you yield to your weaker nature you will not grow, you will dry up like a dead plant, and you will bear neither fruit nor flowers.
Alfred de Musset
