Book: Farewell, youth

- Life, - he continued - is not a reason to whine for anything. It is something big. We don't want to miss our chance? So much to learn, so much to do. There is no reason to get discouraged.

Youth is something you do not understand, until she's gone from you, and then comes understanding, and become wiser than before.

- When you're young, "he began," make the mistake of interfering in everything. Anyway, so did I. I thought that I can approach people with those standards, which you have created for yourself. And indignant because of disillusionment. <...> I don't understand what first of all sorry for yourself and that, no matter how you try, people do not change.

Dreams have nothing to do with life - they silently come to us when we grow up.
