Adolescence

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.

Georges Bernanos

(1888-1948, French novelist, political writer)

Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
So much alarmed that she is quite alarming, All Giggle, Blush, half Pertness, and half Pout.

Lord Byron

(1788-1824, British poet)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten.

Jules Feiffer

(1929-, American cartoonist)

Rating: 0.17 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
They mustn't know my despair, I can't let them see the wounds which they have caused, I couldn't bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more.

Anne Frank

(1929-1945, German Jewish refugee, diarist)

In the life of children there are two very clear-cut phases, before and after puberty. Before puberty the child's personality has not yet formed and it is easier to guide its life and make it acquire specific habits of order, discipline, and work: after puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious, tyrannical, insufferable. Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late: then of course the stick and violence enter the scene and yield very few results indeed. Why not instead take an interest in the child during the first period?

Antonio Gramsci

(1891-1937, Italian political theorist)

Rating: 3.57 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

Anthony Hope Hawkins

(1863-1933, British author)

Rating: 2.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunities for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.

Eric Hoffer

(1902-1983, American author, philosopher)

Rating: 5.00 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy; but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.

John Keats

(1795-1821, British poet)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teenagers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.

Max Lerner

(1902-1992, American author, columnist)

Rating: Not Rated Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
Teenage boys, goaded by their surging hormones run in packs like the primal horde. They have only a brief season of exhilarating liberty between control by their mothers and control by their wives.

Camille Paglia

(1947-, American author, critic, educator)

Rating: 4.83 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
When you are seventeen you aren't really serious.

Arthur Rimbaud

(1854-1891, French poet)

Rating: 2.50 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
I would there were no age between ten and three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out the rest; for there is nothing in the between but getting wenches with child, wronging the anciently, stealing, fighting.

William Shakespeare

(1564-1616, British poet, playwright, actor)

Rating: 2.40 Rate: 1 2 3 4 5
