It's important for young people to know that they are made the way they are made and they're beautiful and that's how they're supposed to be.

People define themselves aesthetically at a very young age.

Young people are this awesome, creative, hopeful untapped resource out there.

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something.

Anyone can make things that are beautiful; we need to make things that are remarkable.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true.

It has always seemed to me that a love of natural objects, and the depth, as well as exuberance and refinement of mind, produced by an intelligent delight in scenery, are elements of the first importance in the education of the young.

I am fond of depicting the lives of young folks for one thing, and if you have parts for girls or young men, you must absolutely have young people to fill them - that is generally acknowledged now.

When you're put in a position to really affect young people who are going to run the world one day, if you're able to be in their life at a young age and make a positive impact, I think that's a beautiful thing.
