“When we are young the idea of death or failure is intolerable to us; even the possibility of ridicule we cannot bear. But we have also an unconquerable faith in our own stars, and in the impossibility of anything venturing to go against us.

In this way a balance is obtained.” WayMindBelieveIdeasHappensYoungTurnsStarsGrowsGenerationsPossibilityYouthBearsBalanceOne WayRidiculeImpossibilityUnconquerable Author:Isak Dinesen
