The Devil’s Dictionary
Existence
n.
  A transient, horrible, fantastic dream,
  Wherein is nothing yet all things do seem:

  Of our bedfellow Death, and cry: “O fudge!”
The Devil’s Dictionary
Youth
n. The Period of Possibility, when Archimedes finds a fulcrum, Cassandra has a following and seven cities compete for the honor of endowing a living Homer.
      Youth is the true Saturnian Reign, the Golden Age on earth
  again, when figs are grown on thistles, and pigs betailed with
  whistles and, wearing silken bristles, live ever in clover, and
  cows fly over, delivering milk at every door, and Justice never
  is heard to snore, and every assassin is made a ghost and,
  howling, is cast into Baltimost!
Polydore Smith
