그것은장밋빛볼과붉은입술과유연한무릎의문제가아니오.
의지와탁월한상상력과활력에찬감정이있느냐의문제이다.
삶의깊은샘이신선하면그것이바로청춘이다.
수월함을좋아하기보다모험의욕구가강한것
이것은때로스무살의청년보다예순의노인에게도있는법이다.
나이를먹는다고그것만으로늙는것은아니다.
이상(理想)을버림으로써우리는늙어갈뿐이다.
걱정,두려움,자기불신이심장을꺾고정신을흙으로돌아가게만든다.
쇠진하지않는천진한욕망과삶의놀이를즐기는흥겨움이있다.
그대와나의가슴한가운데에는하나의무선국(無線局)이있으니
그것이사람들로부터조물주로부터
아름다움과희망과활기와용기와힘의메시지를수신하는한
그대는영원히청춘이리라.
스무살이라할지라도그대는늙었다할것이나
그대의안테나가드높이솟아낙관(樂觀)의전파를붙잡는다면
여든이라할지라도그대는청춘을유지한채죽을수있으리라.
