“Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.”
“I think that if all kids aspire to reach a point where they could feed themselves and a few of their friends, this would be good for the world surely.”
“All too rarely do I hear people asking just what it is that we've done to make so many children's hearts so hard, or what collectively we might do to right their moral compass - what values we must live by.”
