Auden Tags:Age Related quotes „In any age courage is the simple virtue needed for a human being to traverse the rocky road from infancy to maturity of personality. But in an age of anxiety, an age of her morality and personal isolation, courage is a sine qua non.“ — Rollo May „Anxiety occurs because of a threat to the values a person identifies with his existence as a self … most anxiety comes from a threat to social, emotional and moral values the person identifies with himself. And here we find that a main source of anxiety, particularly in the younger generation, is that they do not have viable values available in the culture on the basis of which they can relate to their world. The anxiety which is inescapable in an age in which values are so radically in transition is a central cause of apathy … such prolonged anxiety tends to develop into lack of feeling and the experience of depersonalization.“ — Rollo May „There was never any more inception than there is now,Nor any more youth or age than there is now;And will never be any more perfection than there is now,Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.“ — Walt Whitman „Mr. Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And, now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever.“ — Roald Dahl „What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.“ — Sigmund Freud
