"To be young is all there is in……" — Wallace Stevens
"To be young is all there is in the world. The rest is nonsenseand cant. They talk so beautifully about work and having a family anda home (and I do, too, sometimes)Mbut it's all worryand head-aches and respectable poverty and forced gushing.... Telling people how nice it is, when, in reality, you would give all of your last thirty years for one of your first thirty. Old people are tremendous frauds."
