Future-Years

“If you are in doubt, just remember that unlike adults, children want to be happy.”
― Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

“When one turns seventeen and begins to experience that first period of real independence, one's senses are so alert, one's sentiments so finely attuned that every conversation, every look, every laugh may be writ indelibly upon one's memory. And the friends that one happens to make in those impressionable years? One will meet them forever after with a welling of affection.”
― Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

“We are great writers on the same dreadful typewriter”
― Allen Ginsberg, Howl and Other Poems
