“(D)espair never lives long in young hearts”

“Young people think they never can change, but they do in the most wonderful manner, and very few die of broken hearts.”

“I only mean to say that I have a feeling that it never was intended I should live long. I'm not like the rest of you.”

“The young people were playing that still more absorbing game in which hearts are always trumps.”

“It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.”

“We each are young, we each have a heart, Oh, why should we thus stand coldly apart”

“He was poor, yet always appeared to be giving something away; a stranger, yet everyone was his friend; no longer young, but as happy-hearted as a boy; plain and peculiar, yet his face looked beautiful to many.”
