“Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.”
“The wisdom of age defeats the strength of youth.”
“Aging is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”
“O youth! The strenght of it, the faith of it, the imagination of it! (...) I think of her with pleasure, with affection, with regret - as you would think of some one dead you have loved. I shall never forget her.... Pass the bottle.”
“Oh FUCK the longings and agonies of youth.”
