“I'm not a big crime reader, but I'm reading Michael Connelly's 'The Reversal.' I'm going back to his novels. I'm also reading Keith Richards' 'Life.' I'm always fascinated by the transition from the innocent late '60s and early '70s and the youth culture becoming an industry.” BigsCultureReadingNovelCrimeYouthIndustryReaderBecomingLateInnocentTransitionFascinatedKeithReversalYouth Culture Author:Jo Nesbo
“In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. It is a blessing that we do not know what is really going to happen.

“We are born one time only, we can never start a new life equipped with the experience we've gained from the previous one. We leave childhood without knowing what youth is, we marry without knowing what it is to be married, and even when we enter old age, we don't know what it is we're heading for: the old are innocent children innocent of thier old age. In that sense, man's world is the planet of inexperience.” KnowsMenWorldChildrenAgeBornKnowingChildhoodYouthPlanetsMarriedInnocentOld AgeOne TimeNew LifeBeing MarriedHeadingsInexperienceInnocent Children Author:Milan Kundera
