Famous quotes containing the word youth:

    “His youth was distinguished by all the tumult and storm of pleasures, in which he licentiously triumphed, disdaining all decorum. His fine imagination was often heated and exhausted with his body in celebrating and deifying the prostitute of the night, and his convivial joys were pushed to all the extravagancy of frantic bacchanals.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
