Young Person

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or person:

    There was a young man of Japan
    Whose limericks never would scan.
    When folks told him so,
    He replied, “Yes, I know,
    But I always try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”
    Anonymous.

    Does he who loves someone on account of beauty really love that person? No, for smallpox, which will kill beauty without killing the person, will cause him to love the person no more. And if one loves me for my judgment, for my memory, he does not love me, for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this myself, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul?
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
