(An answer to a question, "What is youth?")

To be young is to live in the future for the future.

To be young is to be always ready to abandon what one is in order to become what one ought to be.

To be young is never to admit the irreparable.


(Two other notes from Mother:)

One is always deeply disgusted at one's own faults when one encounters them in others.


Europeans attach the greatest importance to the words uttered.

Indians are much more sensitive to the feeling, which more often than not those words veil.
