Age Onset

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or onset:

    Our age is an age of moderate virtue
    And of moderate vice
    When men will not lay down the Cross
    Because they will never assume it.
    Yet nothing is impossible, nothing,
    To men of faith and conviction.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    While the onset of puberty can vary by as much as six years, every adolescent wants to be right on the 50-yard line, right in the middle of the field. One is always too tall, too short, too thin, too fat, too hairy, too clear-skinned, too early, too late. Understandably, problems of self-image are rampant.
    Joan Lipsitz (20th century)
