More From Andre Gide

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

I like to speak with the youth, and i like to hear the youth. they always put me in difficulty. they tell me things that i haven't thought of, or that i've partly thought of. the restless youth, the creative youth, i like them!
