“Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to youIf you're young at heart.For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mindIf you're young at heart.You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.And life gets more exciting with each passing day.And love is either in your heart, or on it's way.Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earthTo be young at heart.For as rich as you are, it's much better by farTo be young at heart.And if you should survive to 105,Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!And here is the best part, you have a head startIf you are among the very young at heart.”

“When you read you can have every adventure. In the pages of a book you can be anyone you ever dreamed of being... They can never tell you you're too young to slay the dragon -- because it all happens right here, where it's safe.”

“When you're young, you think it's going to be solved by love. But it never is. Being close-as close as you can get-to another person only makes it clear the impassable distance between you.”

“You can do as much as you think you can,But you'll never accomplish more;If you're afraid of yourself, young man,There's little for you in store.For failure comes from the inside first,It's there, if we only knew it,And you can win, though you face the worst,If you feel that you're going to do it.”

“‎I know you're still young but I want you to understand and learn this now. Marriage can wait, education cannot. You're a very very bright girl. Truly you are. You can be anything you want Laila. I know this about you. And I also know that when this war is over Afghanistan is going to need you as much as its men maybe even more. Because a society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated Laila. No chance.”

“It's a horrible thing to have your body fail you. You never think about it when you're young.”
