I’ve got a young man who works for me who says you don’t need to discover your dreams – you need to recover them. 672
Hopefully, young people will see that you can be young and make the sacrifices to follow your dreams. 629
Like all young reporters – brilliant or hopelessly incompetent – I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat, speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women, narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits – the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of. 991
As a young man you don’t notice at all that you were, after all, badly affected. For years afterwards, at least ten years, I kept getting these dreams, in which I had to crawl through ruined houses, along passages I could hardly get through. 652

I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children. 653
I want to be a young dad. By 25 or 26 I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family. 667
Education is a fundamental principle of what made America a success. We can’t afford to throw any young people away. 973
I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life’s wisdom. 609
