Quote

I think that if you idealise someone for so long, they can only disappoint and I wouldn't want to be disappointed by those people.

The idealists will always be in society, and we will survive.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

Obviously, everybody has their own expectations of you, but you have to have your own expectations for yourself. For me, I'm right on track.

It is never wise to discourage youthful idealism.

We're all idealistic when young.

I'm generally competing with the ideal I have set for myself, and I've found that served me very well.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist.

Everybody is idealistic when you're a kid.

We are all idealists in that we are ever discontented with the present state of the Ego and the World.
