Quote by Aristotle

The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication.

The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication

Summary

This quote suggests that young people are often seen as being energetic, enthusiastic, and full of life, much like someone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It implies that the youth tend to possess a distinct zest for adventures, curiosity, and taking risks. Just like being intoxicated can temporarily alter one's perception of reality, the quote insinuates that youth likewise have a unique perspective on life, guided by a certain lightheartedness and eagerness that may fade with age.
