It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own.
The most irresistible charm of youth is its bubbling enthusiasm. Youth sees no darkness ahead - no defile that has no outlet - it forgets that there is such a thing as failure in the world and believes that mankind has been waiting all these centuries for him to come and be the liberator of truth and energy and beauty.
Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
A lot of people do that kind of nostalgia stuff believing that they were very happy in their teenage years, but that's probably just an illusion.
Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
Youth is the spirit of adventure and awakening. It is a time of physical emerging when the body attains the vigor and good health that may ignore the caution of temperance. Youth is a period of timelessness when the horizons of age seem too distant to be noticed.
Youth is wasted on the young.
A huge part of youth is how you behave: I'm always looking for fun and anything that makes me feel alive - that in itself keeps me feeling young.
Youth smiles without any reason. It is one of its chiefest charms.
