young

Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.

One of India's biggest advantages is our young demographic and that we have a youthful population that is indeed our future.

The influence of teachers extends beyond the classroom, well into the future. It is they who shape and enrich the minds of the young, who touch their hearts and souls. It is they who shape a nation's future.

What harsh judges fathers are to all young men!

My dad was my hero when I was a young boy. And then it's a toss-up between Han Solo, the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team, and Marlon Brando.

My dad always said there's four phases in an actor/director's life. There's 'Mario Who?' There's 'Get me Mario!' 'Get me a young Mario,' and 'Mario Who?'

My dad made a film called 'Willow' when he was a young filmmaker, which screened at the Cannes film festival, and people were booing afterwards.

There's a freedom to being young that is harder to come by as time goes on.

I always knew that I was going be an environmental advocate when I was very young.

Toxins love to get you while you're young. Lead, mercury, secondhand smoke and sundry other environmental nasties do a lot more damage when tissue is immature, vulnerable and growing than when it's mature and comparatively fixed.

When my young men began the killing, my heart was hurt.

Like all young men I set out to be a genius, but mercifully laughter intervened.

Young men, hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.

It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.

As a young boy, I was obsessed with endangered species and the extinct species that men killed off. Biology was the subject in school that I was incredibly passionate about.

Poetry seems to sink into us the way prose doesn't. I can still quote verses I learned when I was very young, but I have trouble remembering one line of a novel I just finished reading.

I don't think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can't teach them is the very essence of poetry.

In my life, I've seen enormous increase in the consumption of poetry. When I was young, there were virtually no poetry readings.
