L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001342533
How difficult it is for those of us preoccupied with the humdrum concerns of adulthood to recall how forcefully we were once buffeted by the passions and longings of youth ... 'The older person does not realize the soul-flights of the adolescent ... ' (pg. 185)
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001157432
The fragile nature of youth is at last hardened by the agony of experience.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000278362
For fifteen years, I was a teacher of youth. They were years out of the fullness and bloom of my younger manhood. They were years mingled of half breathless work, of anxious self-questionings, of planning and replanning, of disillusion, or mounting wonder.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000465834
Youth is a silly, vapid state, Old age with fears and ills is rife; This simple boon I beg of Fate - A thousand years of Middle Life.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001340205
I have tried to answer the question which sent me to Samoa: Are the disturbances which vex our adolescents due to the nature of adolescence itself or to the civilization? Under different conditions does adolescence present a different picture?
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000255128
Human life is a continuous thread which each of us spins to his own pattern, rich and complex in meaning. There are no natural knots in it. Yet knots form, nearly always in adolescence.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000744233
Simone de Beauvoir believed adolescence is when girls realize that men have the power and that their only power comes from consenting to become submissive adored objects. They do not suffer from the penis envy Freud postulated, but from power envy.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001342530
Maturity colonizes your adolescent mind, like an ultraviolet photograph of a vast cosmic nebula that turns out, on closer examination, to be a pointillist self-portrait.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000814515
The conflict between the need to belong to a group and the need to be seen as unique and individual is the dominant struggle of adolescence.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000240939
Adolescence is a sort of underworld we have to live through. Everything is in us, even vice and crime. At the same time we discover free will. I wonder that it doesn't tear us off our bases for good and all.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001679171
Youth makes no compromise with life. It demands all, passionately; loses all, or wins, with anguish of spirit.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000161255
The mind of a little child is fascinating, for it looks on old things with new eyes-but at about twelve this changes. The adolescent offers nothing, can do nothing, say nothing that the adult cannot do better.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001350046
Language spread its warm, absurd rays over all my adolescent thoughts, and I felt the way we all long to feel: moody, lonely, lovesick and explosive with the prospects of tomorrow.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000819288
Youth, balancing itself upon hope, is forever in extremes: its expectations are continually aroused only to be baffled, and disappointment, like a summer shower, is violent in proportion to its brevity.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001371771
When we became teenagers boredom grew like a moth in a cocoon fighting to escape, and the peace created by our parents became a prison. We sought excitement and adventure. We sought anything but the sinless, pure, and average of the faux idyllic.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001565036
Adolescence is a kind of slavery cleverly disguised as freedom.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000967307
All the best human impulses can be traced back to adolescence.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000170636
The independence and rebelliousness of our adolescence offer us yet another quality essential to our practice; the insistence that we find out the truth for ourselves, accepting no one's word above our own experience.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000693336
Life is expressed in a perpetual sequence of changes. The birth of the child is the death of the baby, just as the birth of the adolescent is the death of the child.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001412238
When consuming goods rather than satisfying work becomes the focus of our culture, we have created (or acquieced in) a society of permanent adolescents.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001760733
The laziness of adolescence is a rehearsal for the incapacity of old age.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000032820
The hardest thing about adolescence is that everything seems too big. There's no way to get context or perspective, ... Pain and joy without limits. No one can live like that forever, so experience finally comes to our rescue. We come to know what we can endure, and also that nothing endures.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000795168
In youth the life of reason is not in itself sufficient; afterwards the life of emotion, except for short periods, becomes unbearable.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000238261
Adolescence is that time in your life when you discover your ability to be depressed.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001841318
Youth is a perpetual intoxication; it is a fever of the mind.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000498945
Nothing is as conventional as adolescence.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001164892
It is always difficult to escape from youth; its hopefulness, its optimistic belief in the privileges of desire, its despair, and its sense of outrage and injustice at disappointment, all these spring on a man inflicting indelicate agony when he is no longer prepared.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000489491
The middle years, caught between children and parents, free of neither: the past stretches back too densely, it is too thickly populated, the future has not yet thinned out.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000528440
Almost 400 years ago, Shakespeare was portraying adolescents in a very similar light to the light that we portray them in today - but today we try to understand their behavior in terms of the underlying changes that are going on in their brain.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000547311
Youth is given up to illusions. It seems to be a provision of Nature; a decoy to secure mothers for the race. And Nature takes no account of moral consequences, of arbitrary conditions which we create, and which we feel obliged to maintain at any cost.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000166683
Having children truly ends adolescence. We are all either parents or children: responsibility-takers or those who demand from others.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000166677
Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001133300
For is it not possible that middle age can be looked upon as a period of second flowering, second growth, even a kind of second adolescence? It is true that society in general does not help one accept this interpretation of the second half of life.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001670923
Growing older is mainly an ordeal of the imagination-a moral disease, a social pathology ...
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001633654
Adolescence isn't just about prom or wearing sparkly dresses.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001111700
The languor of Youth - how unique and quintessential it is! How quickly, how irrecoverably, lost!
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001075608
In their youth, mortals behave more like nymphs. Adulthood seems impossibly distant, let alone the enfeeblement of old age. But ponderously, inevitably, it overtakes you.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000869557
The intimation never wholly deserts us that there is, in the unformed activities of childhood and youth, the possibilities of a better life for the community as well as for individuals here and there. This dim sense is the ground of our abiding idealization of childhood.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000464601
Childhood constitutes the most important element in an adult's life, for it is in his early years that a man is made.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001304460
Remaining adolescent means rejecting all compensatory lies about one's life ...
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000166723
Even as kids reach adolescence, they need more than ever for us to watch over them. Adolescence is not about letting go. It's about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000227287
A normal adolescent is so restless and twitchy and awkward that he can mange to injure his knee
not playing soccer, not playing football
but by falling off his chair in the middle of French class.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001741442
Adolescence is a plague on the senses.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000166706
What a cunning mixture of sentiment, pity, tenderness, irony surrounds adolescence, what knowing watchfulness! Young birds on their first flight are hardly so hovered around.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000287267
Youth is but the painted shell within which, continually growing, lives that wondrous thing the spirit of a man, biding its moment of apparition, earlier in some than in others.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001854789
Youth is a continual intoxication; it is the fever of reason.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001514630
Youth, with all its accompanying risks, humiliations, and uncertainties, the pressure to do it all before it's too late.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000354996
In youth our most bitter disappointments, our brightest hopes and ambitions, are known only to ourselves. Even our friendship and love we never fully share with another; there is something of every passion, in every situation, we conceal.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000283022
In movies, there are some things the French do that Americans are increasingly incapable of doing. One is honoring the complexities of youth. It's a quiet, difficult undertaking, requiring subtlety in a filmmaker and perception and patience from us.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000380529
Between childhood, boyhood, adolescence and manhood (maturity) there should be sharp lines drawn with tests, deaths, feats, rites, stories, songs, and judgments.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000480803
Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000727522
Adolescents have a very rocky insecure time. Grown-ups treat them like children and yet expect them to act like adults. They give them orders like little animals, then expect them to react like mature, and always rational, self-assured persons of legal stature.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000266876
Every generous illusion of youth leaves a wrinkle as it departs. Experience is the successive disenchanting of the things of life; it is reason enriched with the heart's spoils.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001451774
Youth looks at its world and age looks through it; youth must get busy on problems whose outlines stand single and strenuous before it, while age can, with luck, achieve a cosmic private harmony unsuited for action as a rule.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000962408
To most teenagers, life is a strange uncharted land filled with a mixture of new joys, intensely felt, and painful confusions for which they know no anodyne.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001368876
The search for identity in one's youth is a journey of alternate boredom and agony interrupted by flash of joy.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000508662
The needs of children during adolescence are particular and acute. They need an opportunity to develop a sense of identity and to maintain the sense of security that emanates from group acceptance.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000159580
Oh hours of childhood,
when behind each shape more than the past appeared
and what streamed out before us was not the future.
We felt our bodies growing and were at times impatient to be grown up, half for the sake
of those with nothing left but their grownupness.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001604499
CHILDHOOD IS THAT STATE WHICH ENDS THE MOMENT A PUDDLE IS FIRST VIEWED AS AN OBSTACLE INSTEAD OF AN OPPORTUNITY
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000018015
'The Catcher in the Rye.' When I was a teenager, that was my book; yes, somebody gets it, somebody gets adolescence.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001825513
As this is ordinarily the fate of young heads, so reflection upon the folly of it, is as ordinarily the exercise of more years, or of the dear-bought experience of time ...
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001130454
In teen years, people yearned to be liked; in their twenties, to be impressive; in their thirties, to be needed
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000615648
Adulthood is supposed to be about "a disciplining of a developmentally appropriate insanity". "Adolescents, and their parents who were once adolescents, are simply experiencing two kinds of helplessness. Helplessness born of experience and the helplessness born of lack of experience".
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000425087
Adolescence is about digging out the iron inside irony.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000189765
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000166709
In our house we say 'adolescence' is a western word. We don't believe in it.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000129305
The end of childhood is when things cease to astonish us. When the world seems familiar, when one has got used to existence, one has become an adult.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000555141
our daily associations cannot be trusted to make clear to the young the part played in our activities by remote physical energies, and by invisible structures. Hence a special mode of social intercourse is instituted, the school, to care for such matters.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000316703
I am in an adolescence in reverse, as mysterious as the first, except that this time I feel it as a decay of the odds that I might live for a while, that I can sleep it off.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000583113
This world demands the qualities of youth; not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000700086
Adolescence is a difficult time at the best of times, and especially in a smaller town - there's all these different energies going on.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000441324
The pleasure and sadness of youth is that the speed of its passing is never thought about; and so you say that you will do this or that in a year, in five years, only to wake up one morning to realize that what you thought was infinitely prolonged has ended.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000922549
Festival of the impassioned efforts and manifold ambitions of all forms of youthful activity of every generation springing from the threshold of life.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000657583
Somewhere between the ages of eleven and fifteen, the average child begins to suffer from an atrophy, the paralysis of curiosity and the suspension of the power to observe. The trouble, I should judge, to lie with the schools.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000887373
One understands now the drama that rends the adolescent girl at puberty: she cannot become "a grown-up" without accepting her femininity
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000380961
Adolescence: A stage between infancy and adultery.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001385325
This Thursday night felt like adolescence: exquisitely painful and sharply beautiful.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000194534
Not having yet passed through those bitter experiences which enforce upon older years circumspection and coldness, I deprived myself of the pure delight of a fresh, childish instinct for the absurd purpose of trying to resemble grown-up people.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001121384
A poet laureate of adolescent sexuality and middle-age longing.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001719695
The hatred of the youth culture for adult society is not a disinterested judgement but a terror-ridden refusal to be hooked into the, if you will, ecological chain of breathing, growing, and dying. It is the demand, in other words, to remain children.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000558143
In earlier periods of history, adolescence was virtually unknown ... Today, the span between childhood and adulthood may extend over ten years. Deferred adulthood is synonymous with deferred responsibility.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000424438
Youth, then, once ballyhooed as the epicenter of fun, hot dogs, hot sex, and marvelous dope-smoking good times, is now defined as follows: that period before death, characterized by smooth skin and ill-formed ideas.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001165558
in 1762, Rousseau argued that puberty had such fundamental emotional and mental effects that it represented "a second birth.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001563194
Every age has its peculiar folly: Some scheme, project, or fantasy into which it plunges, spurred on by the love of gain, the necessity of excitement, or the force of imitation.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001436575
The changes during adolescence are not something to just get through; they are qualities we actually need to hold on to in order to live a full and meaningful life in adulthood.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001631088
Adolescence begins when children stop asking questions-because they know all the answers.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000197041
We carry adolescence around in our bodies all our lives. We get through the Car Crash Age alive and cruise through our early twenties as cool dudes, wily, dashing, winsome ... shooting baskets, the breeze, the moon, and then we try to become caring men, good husbands, great fathers, good citizens.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001311279
Adolescents are attracted to tragic heroes. That's why rock stars dress like homeless people. Adolescence is a fall. It's when every child becomes an orphan.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000772529
What was youth at best? A green, an unripe time, a time of shallow moods, and sickly thoughts.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000396494
The teens are emotionally unstable and pathic. It is a natural impulse to experience hot and perfervid psychic states, and it is characterized by emotionalism. We see here the instability and fluctuations now so characteristic. The emotions develop by contrast and reaction into the opposite.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000626295
Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000930403
I loathe my childhood and all that remains of it.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Words
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000061461
Under the urge of nature and according to the laws of development, though not understood by the adult, the child is obliged to be serious about two fundamental things ... the first is the love of activity ... The second fundamental thing is independence.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000482075
Perhaps the world progresses not by maturing, but by being in a permanent state of adolescence, of thrilled discovery.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 001103602
The stretch of years leaves none unmarked: the blissful sense of youthful invincibility peels away and responsibility brings its weight to bear.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000616578
The adolescents of my generation, greedy for life, forgot in body and soul about their hopes for the future until reality taught them that tomorrow was not what they had dreamed, and they discovered nostalgia.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000961172
There is in youth a purity of character which, when once touched and defiled, can never be restored; a fringe more delicate than frost-work, and which, when torn and broken, can never be re-embroidered.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000338975
Somewhere slightly before or after the close of our second decade, we reach a momentous milestone
childhood's end. We have left asafe place and can't go home again. We have moved into a world where life isn't fair, where life is rarely what it should be.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000078260
If one sees the personality not as an apparatus that is essentially constructed by the time childhood is over, but as always in its essence developing, then life at 25 or 30 or at the gateway to middle age will stimulate its own intrigue, surprise, and exhilaration of discovery.
L'adolescence Quotes : pic 000002158
Childhood: the period of human life intermediate between the idiocy of infancy and the folly of youth - two removes from the sin of manhood and three from the remorse of age.
