“Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.”
—Andre Maurois (18851967)
“If youth is the period of hero-worship, so also is it true that hero-worship, more than anything else, perhaps, gives one the sense of youth. To admire, to expand ones self, to forget the rut, to have a sense of newness and life and hope, is to feel young at any time of life.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
