Excerpt from The Younger Generation Public Library Copyright
Among the empty sayings, which constitute at least half our stock of opinions, is this: that early youth is life's happiest time. On the contrary - setting aside exceptions - the age between, say, fifteen and twenty-five is probably that during which the majority of people suffer most. Not from this or that great sorrow, for such experiences usually come upon us in later years. But every young person who can both think and feel - and it is only to such that I speak - suffers during those years from the sorrows inherent in existence to a degree never reached in later life.
Their elders seldom take the sufferings of the young seriously; they see in them the inevitable storms of the vernal equinox and rightly lay stress upon the great, the immeasurable good fortune of youth - that of having one's life before one.
