Youth so apt for pleasure that pleasure, one thought, must exist

If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.

The glory of youth is their strength.

Sometimes you just have to jump in a mud puddle because it's there. Never get so old that you forget about having fun.

In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes, / Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm; / Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway, / That, hushed in grim repose, expects his evening prey.
