Youth
Curiosity of Growing Up
“They keep coming up new all the time – things to perplex you,
you know. You settle one question and there’s another right
after. There are so many things to be thought over and decided
when you’re beginning to grow up. It keeps me busy all the
time thinking them over and deciding what’s right. It’s a
serious thing to grow up, isn’t it, Marilla?”
–Lucy Maud Montgomery, “Anne of Green Gables.”
Let it Be Me
“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may
have peace.”
—Thomas Paine
The Good Child Gone Bad
“I was so naive as a kid, I used to sneak behind the barn and do
nothing.”
–Johnny Carson
Lol, this was me as a teen, my rebellious years so weren’t rebellious.
