Cynicism is a sure sign of youth.

though pleasure may be purchasable, happiness cannot be bought for a price.

The hardest thing to believe when you're young is that people will fight to stay in a rut, but not to get out of one.

What I hated even more than the conflict was the lurid spectacle of a world of unreason.

a successful politician does not have convictions; he has emotions.

Of one thing alone I am very sure: it is a law of our nature that the memory of longing should survive the more fugitive memory of fulfillment.

But youth isn't happy. Youth is sadder than age.
