Quote

When you're young you don't know anything, but you have lot of energy to express yourself. So you make a lot of mistakes and you stumble, but you also get a lot of truth from within.

Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency.

When you are young you don't always realise how full of doubts everybody is.

When you are young, you are fervent about the things you believe in.

One of the virtues of being very young is that you don't let the facts get in the way of your imagination.

I think when you're young, you're a lot more open-minded, and sometimes you're a lot more perceptive about what's going on in the world.

Young children are naturally so philosophical. They ask: 'What is real? What is truth?' They have to learn it; they don't automatically know it. To them, it's a game. You can study this for years in college, and yet you probably asked it when you were four or five years old.

It's easy to say young people should believe in themselves, but the number one thing is recognizing that it's a journey, that you have to build confidence in yourself.

When I write from the point of view of a child or a young person, I am trying to tell the truth as an adult voice sometimes cannot. We are so often wrapped in the garment of trying to reassure ourselves that we are not afraid.

When you're young, you don't especially think of yourself as being young. You're just alive and everything's interesting and you don't think of things in terms of age because you're not conscious of it.
