"Old man with a young mind is much younger than the young man with an old mind!"

"I was flipping channels, watching this cheerleading program on MTV. They took a field hockey girl and “transformed” her into a cheerleader by the end of the show. I was just wondering: what if she liked field hockey better?"

"I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless; it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say ‘I’m bored."

"She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city"

"The human body is the best work of art."

"I suppose it’s not a social norm, and not a manly thing to do — to feel, discuss feelings. So that’s what I’m giving the finger to. Social norms and stuff…what good are social norms, really? I think all they do is project a limited and harmful image of people. It thus impedes a broader social acceptance of what someone, or a group of people, might actually be like."

"I still remember her meandering Mississippi kiss. I sipped it like a riverboat captain in the desert. Ah, to be young and naughtily nautical."

"A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement"

"You can only be young once. But you can always be immature."

"My head’ll explode if I continue with this escapism."

"It isn't about love,"Vee said. "It's about fun."

"The road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime."

"There's nothing more contagious than the laughter of young children; it doesn't even have to matter what they're laughing about."

"V-Day…if you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It’s all artificial, and has nothing to do with real love."

"THE FOUR HEAVENLY FOUNTAINSLaugh, I tell youAnd you will turn backThe hands of time.Smile, I tell youAnd you will reflectThe face of the divine.Sing, I tell youAnd all the angels will sing with you!Cry, I tell youAnd the reflections found in your pool of tears -Will remind you of the lessons of today and yesterdayTo guide you through the fears of tomorrow."

"[novan]: bassists are very good with their fingers[novan]: and some of us sing backup vocals, so that means we're good with our mouths too...(~ IM chat with Novan Chang, 18, bassist)"

"Maybe you could be mine / or maybe we’ll be entwined / aimless in this sexless foreplay."

"Enjoy your youth.You'll never be younger thanyou are at this very moment."

"I think it’s the books that you read when you’re young that live with you forever."
