I don’t know if we’re using (youth) as an excuse. At some point, we have to start believing we’re just as good as the opposition that we’re playing. Until that happens, it’s just going to...

…one of the roles of man is to shut his eyes and keep them shut to see if he can continue into the night of his old age the dream curtailed in the night of...

To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision.

I can never see why people should be jealous. After all, youth isn’t a matter of privilege, we all get the same share of it. Some people may be born at an easier time or...
