To be young is all there is in the world. They talk so beautifully about work and having a family and a home (and I do, too, sometimes) -- but it's all worry and headaches 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. - Wallace Stevens
