Søren Kierkegaard
“He cannot become old, for he has never been young; he cannot become young, for he has already become old; in a way he cannot die, for he has never lived; in a way he cannot live, for he is already dead.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life

Toni Aleo
“Things were tough when you were young. Everything seemed so life altering, and you found yourself pushing people away, but regardless, you learn that the people that matter would always be there. No matter what.”
Toni Aleo, Breaking Away

Iris Murdoch
“I'm not young. I've never had any youth.”
Iris Murdoch, The Message to the Planet

Emma Cline
“How Linda must have believed, as beautiful people do, that there was a solution, that she would be saved.”
Emma Cline, The Girls

Joseph Conrad
“I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more—the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires—and expires, too soon, too soon—before life itself.”
Joseph Conrad, Youth, a Narrative
