Earl Wilson -
“Snow and adolescence are the only problems that disappear if you ignore them long enough.”

Lewis Thomas -
“I do not agree with this century's fashion of running down the human species as a failed try, a doomed sport. At our worst, we may be going through the early stages of adolescence, and everyone remembers what that is like.”

Sir Walter Scott -
“Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, When thought is speech, and speech is truth.”

Alden Nowlan -
“The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.”

Eric Hoffer -
“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.”

General Lewis B. Hershey -
“A boy becomes an adult three years before his parents think he does, and about two years after he thinks he does.”

Ambrose Gwinett Bierce -
“ADOLESCENCE The stage between puberty and adultery.”

Jules Feiffer -
“At sixteen I was stupid, confused and indecisive. At twenty-five I was wise, self-confident, prepossessing and assertive. At forty-five I am stupid, confused, insecure and indecisive. Who would have supposed that maturity is only a short break in adolescence?”
