…the primary trait of young adult literature is that the author’s emphasis is on plot and character and not on his own brilliance. And because few people talk about whether a young adult work is commercial or literary; the two are still in sync, ...
Some people were just getting on with their lives, chatting, being young. It simply wouldn't do.
I don't think that artists of any kind would or could sacrifice their artistic freedom by being more responsible with their influence on people, especially young people.
We all have these notions of cool that come about at different points in our lives, and it's interesting in how it evolves or doesn't evolve in different people.
There are two political truisms: Old people vote and Republicans eat their young.
Young Noah: Get in the water. Young Allie: No! I'm scared. Young Noah: [yelling] Get in the water, woman! Get in the water! Young Allie: [looks at him, puzzled] Young Noah: [calmly] No I'm sorry baby, please just get in. Young Allie: [hesitates] Youn...
Communities are not built of friends, or of groups of people with similar styles and tastes, or even of people who like and understand each other. They are built of people who feel they are part of something that is bigger than themselves: a shared g...
No, it really isn't, but trust me, getting divorced and having to start over is the least in life that isn't fair. I had to watch the parents of a way too young girl realize that their daughter died for no other reason than people can't figure out ho...
Almost every time I speak to teenagers, particularly young female students who want to talk to me about feminism, I find myself staggered by how much they have read, how creatively they think and how curiously bullshit-resistant they are. Because of ...
Young Johnny Sirocco: Oy! Boyo! Young Amsterdam Vallon: Johnny. Young Johnny Sirocco: What you doin', boyo? Young Amsterdam Vallon: There's a battle. The natives against the dead rabbits. Young Johnny Sirocco: Which side are you on? Young Amsterdam V...
Young Allie: Painting. Young Noah: What? Young Allie: You asked me, what I do for me... Young Noah: What now? Young Allie: I love to paint. Young Noah: Really? Young Allie: Mmm-hmm. Most of the time I have all these thoughts bouncin' around in my hea...
[a romantic moment between Noodles and Deborah is interrupted] Young Deborah: Somebody's there! Young Noodles: There ain't nobody. It's Max. Young Deborah: So that's who it was... Young Max: Noodles! Young Deborah: [smiling maliciously] Go on, run. Y...
[Patsy meets Peggy] Young Peggy: What do you want? Young Patsy: Me? Young Peggy: Mama said you were looking for me. Young Patsy: No, the guys told me that... [pause] Young Patsy: What? Young Patsy: I'll come back some other time... [leaves post-haste...
Young Jenny: There's leaches in there. Young Ed Bloom: Did you see that woman? Young Jenny: What did she look like? Young Ed Bloom: Well, she was, uh... Young Jenny: Was she naked? Young Ed Bloom: Yeah, she was. Young Jenny: It's not a woman. It's a ...
November is Hip-Hop History Month, where we give celebration to what hip hop has done to bring together people of the world, people of all nationalities, young people, all the political systems and politicians on the planet.
I am very puzzled by the fact that young people are getting infected again. They don't take precautions despite an enormous amount of information. It's like riding a race car at 200 kilometers an hour. Some people like the risk.
If younger people see older people who haven't planned ahead and have to rely on charity, the young will be more likely to provide for the future. Today when someone plans poorly, the only consequence people see is a demand for more government.
I know there are a lot of musicians and a lot of artists, and there are a lot of writers and other people who inspire young people, but I'd like to see somebody in political life be able to connect and make these choices that we need to make in Washi...
It's human nature to be curious about people, and to be more curious about young people than old people. We want to cheer something on at the same time we want to tear it down. That's just so normal.
The denunciation of the young is a necessary part of the hygiene of older people, and greatly assists the circulation of the blood.
People like to see honest persons. So I certainly will advise many young people who want to participate in politics, honesty is the best policy.
