There is no man,' he began, 'however wise, who has not at some period of his youth said things, or lived in a way the consciousness of which is so unpleasant to him in later life that he would gladly, if he could, expunge it from his memory. And yet he ought not entirely to regret it, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man - so far as it is possible for any of us to be wise - unless he has passed through all the fatuous or unwholesome incarnations by which that ultimate stage must be preceded. I know that there are young fellows, the sons and grand sons of famous men, whose masters have instilled into them nobility of mind and moral refinement in their schooldays. They have, perhaps, when they look back upon their past lives, nothing to retract; they can, if they choose, publish a signed account of everything they have ever said or done; but they are poor creatures, feeble descendants of doctrinaires, and their wisdom is negative and sterile. We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world. The lives that you admire, the attitudes that seem noble to you are not the result of training at home, by a father, or by masters at school, they have sprung from beginnings of a very different order, by reaction from the influence of everything evil o ~ Marcel Proust
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Marcel Proust
It's not really much good tearing out a page because you can see the place where it's been torn. [ ... ] You can pull a stamp out,' she said with terrible youthful clarity, 'and you don't know that it's ever been there. ~ Graham Greene
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Graham Greene
It is cynicism, and not idealism, that is generally the mark of youthful immaturity, or rather it is the cynic who is generally the most foolish romantic. ~ Andrew Sarris
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Andrew Sarris
The avoidance of little evils, little sins, little inconsistencies, little weaknesses, little follies, little indiscretions and imprudences, little foibles, little indulgences of self and of the flesh, little acts of indolence or indecision, or slovenliness or cowardice, little equivocations or aberrations from high integrity, little touches of shabbiness or meanness ... little indifferences to the feelings or wishes of others, little outbreaks of temper, or crossness, or selfishness, or vanity - the avoidance of such little things as these goes far to make up at least the negative beauty of a holy life. ~ Horatius Bonar
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Horatius Bonar
Thus aged men, full loth and slow, The vanities of life forego, And count their youthful follies o'er, Till Memory lends her light no more. ~ Walter Scott
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Walter Scott
Children think around corners. ~ Jacob M. Held
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Jacob M. Held
There's no foreplay quite like youthful exploration, when each undone button is cause for exaltation. ~ Megan Hart
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Megan Hart
To balance China, the democracies will need new friends - and India with its fast-growing economy, youthful population, and democratic politics seems the obvious candidate. ~ David Frum
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by David Frum
We fall in love for a smile, a glance, a bare shoulder. That is enough; then, in the long hours of hope or sorrow, we fabricate a person, we compose a character. And when later on we see much of the beloved person, we can no longer, whatever the cruel reality that confronts us, strip off that good character, that nature of a woman who loves us, from the person who bestows that glance, bares that shoulder, than we can when she has grown old eliminate her youthful face from a person whom we have known since her girlhood. ~ Marcel Proust
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Marcel Proust
Once I got both my hips replaced, I could start working out and going Pilates, and it's helped me be more active and youthful. ~ Jane Kaczmarek
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Jane Kaczmarek
All things in this world must be seen with youthful, hopeful eyes. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Henry David Thoreau
My issue isn't about physical aging; my issue is about wanting to remain vigorous and youthful in my spirit. ~ Rob Lowe
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Rob Lowe
A handful of lion-hearts can wake the whole world up. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Abhijit Naskar
He thought about his son's stone flying across the yard, the youthful idea that you could toss away the future if
you didn't like it - and he realized, suddenly, what he needed to do. ~ Mitch Albom
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Mitch Albom
Armies are dependent on youthful male ignorance. ~ Rita Mae Brown
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Rita Mae Brown
The stresses and strains of life mould us into our mature selves. The key to life is to accept the wisdom of our later years while maintaining our youthful enthusiasm and curiosity for the world. ~ Stewart Stafford
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Stewart Stafford
This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age. ~ Sharon Stone
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Sharon Stone
I wanted to make youthful, irreverent anthems. Parents might not get it, but kids would. ~ Kesha
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Kesha
In the nineteenth century, Emile Durkheim, the founder of sociology and an early pioneer of the social sciences, ran a thought experiment in one of his books: What if there were no crime? What if there emerged a society where everyone was perfectly respectful and nonviolent and everyone was equal? What if no one lied or hurt each other? What if corruption did not exist? What would happen? Would conflict cease? Would stress evaporate? Would everyone frolic in fields picking daises and singing the "Hallelujah" chorus from Handel's Messiah?
Durkheim said no, that in fact the opposite would happen. He suggested that the more comfortable and ethical a society became, the more that small indiscretions would become magnified in our minds. If everyone stopped killing each other, we wouldn't necessarily feel good about it. We'd just get equally upset about the more minor stuff.
Developmental psychology has long argued something similar: that protecting people from problems or adversity doesn't make them happier or more secure; it makes them more easily insecure. A young person who has been sheltered form dealing with any challenges or injustices growing up will come to find the slightest inconveniences of adult life intolerable, and will have the childish public meltdown to prove it. ~ Mark Manson
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Mark Manson
Dan Moldea, the lead investigator for Larry Flynt's ongoing quest to uncover sexual indiscretions of Republican congressional members, has now admitted he was hired by the law firm defending President Clinton. ~ Jerry Falwell
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Jerry Falwell
whilst you are a youth, think about the aged; whilst you are an aged, think about the youth ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Through all permutations and youthful poetry, I came to believe that the film actor was the great "literateur" of his time. ~ Jack Nicholson
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Jack Nicholson
Face the facts, all these environmental organizations are thirty, forty, fifty years old. They have big buildings, big obligations, big staffs. They may trade on their youthful dreams, but the truth is, they're now part of the establishment. And the establishment works to preserve the status quo. It just does. ~ Michael Crichton
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Michael Crichton
I am the world's oldest teenager. I've never lost my youthful attitude. ~ Rodney Dangerfield
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Rodney Dangerfield
During an individual's immersion in a domain, the locus of flow experiences shifts: what was once too challenging becomes attainable and even pleasurable, while what has long since become attainable no longer proves engaging. Thus, the journeyman musical performer gains flow from the accurate performance of familiar pieces in the repertoire; the youthful master wishes to tackle the most challenging pieces, ones most difficult to execute in a technical sense; the seasoned master may develop highly personal interpretations of familiar pieces, or, alternatively, return to those deceptively simple pieces that may actually prove difficult to execute convincingly and powerfully. Such an analysis helps explain why creative individuals continue to engage in the area of their expertise despite its frustrations, and why so many of them continue to raise the ante, posing ever-greater challenges for themselves, even at the risk of sacrificing the customary rewards. ~ Howard Gardner
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Howard Gardner
Come forth, old man,
thy daughter's side
Is now the fitting place for thee:
When time has quell'd the oak's bold pride,
The youthful tendril yet may hide,
The ruins of the parent tree. ~ Walter Scott
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Walter Scott
I leave everything to the young men. You've got to give youthful men authority and responsibility if you're going to build up an organization. Otherwise you'll always be the boss yourself and you won't leave anything behind you. ~ Amadeo Giannini
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Amadeo Giannini
If our sex life were determined by our first youthful experiments, most of the world would be doomed to celibacy. In no area of human experience are human beings more convinced that something better can be had only if they persevere. ~ P.D. James
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by P.D. James
Miriam lifted her eyes from her sewing and found a glint of masculine lust in Owen's green eyes. Putting her sewing aside, she smiled nervously and got to her feet. "I...If you don't mind, I'll bid you good night, Mr. Vaughn."
He nodded, not caring to stand. His smile was so youthful in its rakishness that Miriam began to wonder if he'd read her mind. "A gentleman stands when a lady gets up to leave the room, Mr. Vaughn," she snapped, more disgusted with herself than with his lack of manners.
Owen shrugged but stood all the same. "Sweet dreams, Miriam," he taunted, deliberately taking the liberty of using her first name.
Miriam grasped the hem of the little basque jacket she wore over her fashionable two-piece dress of red bombazine, and gave it an indignant tug. "Good night, Mr. Vaughn." ~ Charlotte McPherren
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Charlotte McPherren
Ah, how often I've cursed those foolish pages,
That showed my youthful sufferings to everyone!
If Werther had been my brother, and I'd killed him,
His sad ghost could hardly have persecuted me more. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I feel that we, as Indians, have a knack for loving a stereotypical, sobbing, sympathy-seeking personality. I feel that we need to promote quirky, cool and youthful talent. We have to stop propagating the sob-story angle of celebs, where they try to be larger-than-life. That is very outdated. It is so boring that it puts you to sleep. ~ Kangana Ranaut
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by Kangana Ranaut
It was not the destination that matters, but the journey. Which is true in its way, but destinations aren't all that bad. And as we kept driving north, the whole family in the car together, it got darker, and snowier. Until finally, the road delivered us, to the one place, that all my youthful trips west, never could ... home ~ John Green
Youthful Indiscretions quotes by John Green
Everything a teenager does, says or looks at, however transitory, contributes to an aggregated virtual self that might one day have consequences for its real-life counterpart. How many of us would keep all our relationships and reputations intact if every transgression, mistake or youthful folly was held in public view? ~ Beeban Kidron
